Incident Description: 
Today, Saturday 2/5/22, my bike was stolen from our locked storage locker in our underground garage. This happened between 4:20pm and 8:20pm. The storage unit was locked with a Masterlock outdoor padlock. The bike itself was attached to the chain link side of our storage locker with bungee cords. We had just taken something else out of the locker at 4:15pm and locked it immediately afterwards. It appears that someone gained access to the locked garage, cut the lock on our storage unit (the lock was missing when we returned), and stole the bike. The storage is in the lower part of the garage in the northeast corner. There are dozens of bikes throughout the garage (some locked, some unlocked) that appear to be untouched. It is possible someone was watching us while we were at the locker and knew they could break in after we left. The bike was a $700 men's matte black Trek FX 2 Disc, size XXL. Attached is a picture.
