Incident Description:
My bike was locked in my office buildings bike/storage room at 910 West Van Buren, Chicago, IL 60607. You need a code to get into the bike room. I went to put something in my pannier bag at 3:56pm and shut the door. My co-worker went back to the storage room at 5:22pm to retrieve her bike and saw that my bike was no longer there. There is a trap door that is chest level located in the storage room that has access to all the electrical parts of the building. Cameras were reviewed and no one is seen entering the bike room. The terrible stealer of a person would have to leave at the side entrance of the building at either Peoria or Sangamon.
Please help me find my lost limb!
