I went down to my apartment’s private garage on March 12, 2024, to get my bike off the wall and found my lock busted and my bike gone. I had an Airtag in the bike bag so I tracked it to a street about a 5-minute walk from my apartment and called 311 to file a report. Dispatch said the police were on their way to my location. The police and I found my Airtag on a fire hydrant with a note scratched into it.
I then got an email from my property manager saying there was a break-in around 1:30 AM that same day and the thief held a USPS driver at gunpoint to get a universal key they used to break into a few apartments in my neighborhood.
