Bike was locked to my rack on my car. Thief entered parking garage on foot, cut off lock using heated blade, rode away from garage. Wearing highlighter yellow t shirt, jeans, and work boots. Carried a black backpack

The bike was stolen from the front stoop of the house, locked to the stairwell with a U lock.

The bike is usually located at the base of the back stairway of 2339 W McLean Ave, in view of the door leading out to the back and not locked to anything but with no view or access to it without a key. On Sept 24th it was missing from this location, and both of the doors leading into this area were left wide open. It was likely just taken after our neighbors didn't lock the doors.

Bike was in covered basement patio area along with my kids' bikes. That area is secured by a coded gate protecting rear parking and rear unit entrances. Thief either hopped gate and opened from inside or had knowledge of gate code. Neighbor caught likely thief on camera around 9:30 PM. They had ridden up on a Next brand bike and were peeking into the back area. This Next bike was later seen leaning against the wall in alley but was gone by morning. My bike seems to be the only item taken from our building. It was also be far the most valuable item that was stored outside at any unit. Our neighbors' general consensus is this person had knowledge of this bike and its location. Likely related to some construction contractors that have been working at the neighboring unit over the last 12 weeks. Who knows, but it seems plausible.
