In our building garage, there are several private walk-in storage units. My bike had been stored in our locked unit for about two years when not in use. The unit is located directly in front of our parking space, and our car typically blocks its door. This morning, my husband moved the car to go to work, leaving the area accessible. When he returned around 2 p.m., he noticed that several other storage units were cracked open or wide open. He checked ours—which was still locked—and discovered that my bike was missing. He called me to confirm, and when I went down to check, the bike was indeed gone.
