Incident Description:
I entered my garage at approximately 5:00PM. Entered my home from inside the garage, and foolishly failed to close the garage door behind me. About an hour later at 6:00PM, I got a call from the security guard of our complex, Beekman Place, asking me if I realized that my garage door was open. I ran downstairs to the garage, and immediately noticed that the bike was gone along with some power tools. I live near the corner of Clark and Division and there are many vagrants transiting the alley into which my garage door opens. Also, there is a service door to a large apartment building, directly opposite to my garage door. This apartment building is 1260 N. Dearborn. Many people are entering and exiting through that alley service door during the day and night. It is quite possible that one of the residents of that building took the bike. If you live in that building, please be on the lookout for my bike. Thanks much.
