Incident Description: 
Sometime between Sunday morning Aug 29 and Tuesday morning Aug 31 the bike was taken from our building’s basement storage unit. I had left it unlocked there for about two weeks. I believe another bike was stolen from a different unit’s storage as well, a silver mtn bike. The bike that was stolen from me was not in the most rideable condition (wheels fairly out of true, brake pads rubbed down/need replacing) so my thought is that they either carried it (very light bike) or threw it in a car and took off.
