Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Storage room.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
One month - but was there a week ago, so was stolen in the past week.
Incident Description:
The bike was attached by the front feel to a bike rack, located inside my apartment building (in a bike room). The rack doesn't fit in the room, so the only way to attach your bike to the rack is by the front wheel. I had a u-lock keeping it attached to the rack. When I went to get my bike yesterday, May 15, the front wheel and u-lock were attached to the rack and the rest of the bike was gone. The room is locked and only residents have keys - but several bikes have been stolen out of the bike rooms in the past few months.
This is my only form of transportation, and I had been saving for this bike for months. If you see it, please let me know!
