Hey Chicago bike community!

My red Sole one speed got stolen straight out of my basement in Lincoln Park yesterday morning (7/22).
I left it downstairs like I always do among the common area bike rack of my securely locked basement storage room last night around midnight, and when I went downstairs this morning to head to work around 10am it was gone.

There are hired contractors working in our building right now. They have access to the basement area and hallways during cleaning/minor repairs to the building. Due to the fact that there is no history whatsoever of theft in my building, I am under the assumption that these hired building employees have something to do with it. Even if that means they simply left the basement unlocked and unattended at some point.

I have already filed a police report, contacted the building management, and filed a stolen bike report as well. I am also reaching out to my neighbors who have security cameras in our back alley where the thief would have had to exit, and we are going to try and catch the theft on tape. However, I figured posting here couldn't hurt in case someone sees a bike matching the image up for sale somewhere. If someone does spot it, I would really appreciate a message or something!

Thanks everyone. I've definitely learned to lock up tight, no matter where it's being kept.
