I last saw the bike in our interior bike room of our condo in October 2021. I checked on it on 3/14/22 and saw it was missing. No evidence on how it was taken. The bike was locked to a bike rack. That rack was in a bike room which used to have a lock on the door - common access key that hundreds of residents of the building have - but the bike room door is no longer locked (handle replaced with non-locking version). To gain access to the room, you must be past building security with doorman or fob access (or tailgating). There are cameras all over the condo, but no news on if the condo management was able to see who walked off with it.
