Incident Description:
Went out of town for a few days, came back on Friday (8/19/22), but realized my bike was missing this morning (8/20/22). My wife's bike was with my bike, but untouched. I had planned on bringing bikes into back of apartment before leaving town, but it was a rush and slipped my mind. Asked a neighbor in the building if he saw anything suspicious, and said on Thursday afternoon (8/18) he found the back gate wide open, meaning someone had climbed it and opened from the inside. His garage was also unlocked, but unsure if anything stolen from there. The bike brand (Merida) stands out as it's not sold here in the US. Have one photo available, looking for some additional ones.
