Incident Description:
I returned home with my bicycle on Wednesday (12/3) at around 3:45pm. I always leave my bike unlocked in the storage room below my apartment. At this time there were two men installing some insulation around some pipes in this same storage room. They saw me bring the bike in where I left it unlocked (stupidly, now) as they were working. I went down to ride it this evening (12/4, around 5:15pm) and it was gone along with one of my neighbor's bikes. Both of our U-locks were sitting there left behind. I think it's pretty obvious who took them and I will be following up with the management company to figure out who they were.
