I had left my bike locked in THE GARAGE OF MY OWN APARTMENT BUILDING, TWELVE TWELVE ON SOUTH MICHIGAN. It was attached to a metal pole in the first floor along with other bikes. I had not used it for about a month before the first time I realized it was missing. The lock was a TREK (by Kryptonite) Street-Wise U lock.

There is no security camera pointing to that spot, but there is a security camera that registers entrance and exit through the front garage door, though there is at least 4 other ways to get out of the garage.
