My bike was chained to my front fence, inside our gate on our property. I always kept it locked. I rode it home from the gym this day (23rd) around 7:30 AM, and then noticed that it was missing that following Sunday the 26th . I spoke with the neighbor who has a ring security camera and we reviewed the footage but the security camera was not functioning on the 23rd. We are able to clearly see the bike there on Wednesday, the 22nd, and then I remember clearly riding it home from the gym that Thursday. The camera was fixed on Friday the 24th, and yhe bike is gone. I spoke with my other neighbors to see if there was any additional security footage, but no one had any cameras pointed in this direction.

Hey all. I mistakenly left my ebike outside in my parking lot overnight. When I returned from an errand in the morning, I engaged the wheel lock, but was planning to pick my son up from school in the evening, so I didn't lock it TO anything or take it inside. My husband did that, though, and I forgot the bike was outside altogether. The lot has a chain-link fence/gate and stays closed except when people enter or exit. When I woke up this morning, the padlock to our gate was missing, the door was open, and the bike was gone. I've asked my neighbor if there is any surveillance footage, but trying to put feelers out wherever I can.
