Incident Description:
I entered bike storage room at 7:25pm to check on bicycle and noticed lights were off in the room and that my bike along with several others were missing. My bike’s heavy duty U-Lock and metal cable were missing along with the entire bike. Other bikes in the storage room were either entirely missing or had tires stolen. My bike had been locked up for roughly 2 weeks before I checked on it yesterday. There are security cameras in the bike room but the property managers are not helping at this point.
Additional info: The bike room is locked using an electronic key-fob system. To enter the room, one needs an electronic key- fob provided by the property manager to unlock the door. There was no sign of forced entry. When I entered, the bike room was automatically locked, as is typical. Possibilities of entry include: owner of a key fob entered, someone stole a key fob, they figured out a way to electronically hack into the room without a key fob, or other.
