Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Front of building in residential area.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
5 days
Incident Description:
The bike was parked in front of my apartment inside my gated patio area, and it was locked to a metal railing leading up to the stairs of my apartment. I have a very heavy duty U-Lock, and the lock was still on the railing this morning, unharmed, so it appears as if they somehow maneuvered the bike handles through the lock. Although this seems unlikely as I believe the frame was also locked up. So this leads me to believe that they may have had some sort of universal key to unlock the U-Lock?? Not sure what happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
