Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Bike was in a locked apartment or residence.
How was the bike locked?:
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
The bike was not locked up because it was sitting in my living room. I live in a remodeled commerical space, & we do tend to have people coming in & out on a regular basis, but you would think I would be able to leave my bike in my living room no problem
Incident Description:
I have let a couple people borrow my bike before but they always return it. What is strange about this incident is that the bike was "safely" propped up against a wall inside my home in the living room. I live in an artist loft that hosts a lot of events and we have a big open living room, but whenever we have an event, we put our bikes in a bedroom and lock the door to avoid situations like this. The weekend before last, I let my brother borrow it to grab food but I watched him return and bring the bike back inside. I used the bike one other time after this and the last time I visually saw it inside my home was probably on Wednesday or Thursday of last week. I didn't really pay much attention to the location of my bike after that because as I mentioned I usually just leave it sitting in my living room and kind of figured it would be ok just being left there since I've been keeping it in that room for many many many months now. I've been riding my motorcycle more than bike riding these days so for the last week my bike has just been stationary sitting in my home. This morning I decided to change it up a bit and ride my bicycle to work instead which is when I noticed it randomly was not in my living room any more. I asked all 3 of my roommates and none of them had it in their bedroom. Basically, at some point since last Wednesday or Thursday, my bike mysteriously vanished from INSIDE my home and no one has any clue as to where it might be or who might have "borrowed" it. I was certainly never asked by anyone to borrow it. This post is mostly just to get people to potentially keep an eye out for it somewhere. I'm honestly kind of astounded and confused as to how it could just vanish from inside my home, especially considering we have a locked front gate as well as a locked front door. We DID have one of our front door keys go missing recently, but it seems strange to me that someone would steal the key and then come back just so they could steal my bicycle and that is it, nothing else is missing from our place. Doesn't make sense to me. This whole thing is a gigantic confusing mystery.
Like mentioned above, basically, picture this bike, but with straight handlebars and no logos and stickers all over it. And then add a rack on the back.
