I rode into work Tuesday, June 10 and parked the bike, locked to itself through the front tire and the frame, around 5:15pm. I did not ride in Wednesday, but verified in person that the garage was secure. Thursday evening I went into the garage and discovered that the personal entry door had been forced open (the knob was locked as well as the deadbolt when I left for work). My boyfriend's truck was still in the garage, untouched. The garage door had been left open and the bike was gone.
