Not sure how keeps breaking into the building (7 unit building). Stole the neighbors bike as well. Went through some of our storage units. No sense of urgency. Video shows him always riding on a bike but walking right into our building. This time he spent more than an hour from 3am to 4am stealing.

Incident Description: 
I store my bike on a designated bike rack in the back of my building. Though this is a restricted access area (you need a key FOB to enter), the bike rack is in a corridor. A storefront under construction, the elevator, and back door all use this corridor, so there's a lot of traffic. I learned my bike was stolen when I looked for it on a sunny day and it was gone. I assume it was taken by someone using the corridor--either a construction worker or someone who tailgated their way in the building. Tailgating is a huge problem at my apartment building.
