Incident Description:
I'm in town for training. I asked the training facility (Microtrain Technologies) if I could store my bike in their building so I wouldn't have to walk from the hotel. They ok'd it without mentioning the building's no bike policy. I rode in, and was turned away at the door by the security clerk. I was faced with either locking my $700 bike outside with a walmart lock, or missing out on a $3200 training class my company paid for. Obviously the bike went outside. When I came back, it was gone. No trace. That bike was like a part of me and I haven't been able to sleep all night.
