I went downstairs between 9:44 AM and 10:00 AM on 8/3/24 to pick up package from Amazon and saw that the Kryptonite cable attached to bike mount on wall at the base of our stairwell (behind closed door) had been cut and my bike had been stolen. The bike had a TiGr titanium lock on the rear wheel and frame that was attached to the Kryptonite cable as well so unless they had an angle grinder to remove that lock, they couldn't have ridden it away. The Amazon package was also missing. Nobody buzzed from Amazon to indicate their arrival and nobody in our condo building reports buzzing anyone in this morning. The bike was still there as of 9:00 PM on 8/2/24. There is no indication of forced entry and I'm not sure how the thief gained access to our locked building.
