My bike was stored in my apartment building's garage in the lower basement level out of view from the public/street. It is a locked gated garage so we stored our bikes in our parking spot in front of our car. The seat and post were removed as a theft deterrent. Mine and my wife’s bike were secured together with a cable lock that was cut and left. Both bikes were stolen while we were at work.
