Incident Description:
Submitted to old site:
Stolen from basement storage locker of north side of large apartment bldg at 4633 N. Damen.
Date stolen: As mentioned above, I'm not sure which day it was stolen (as I don't go into the basement every day), but I know it was between late Saturday afternoon, 10/7 and about 4pm the afternoon of Saturday, 10/14.
Bike was locked inside a padlocked storage unit, which was inside a locked (with key) common area (i.e. combination laundry room/storage area).
Padlock was either hack-sawed or snapped off. (my guess is the former).
This bike (and one other) have been locked up in the same storage space with no problems for 2.5 years.
