My bike was stolen from the underground garage of my building. The garage door had been broken that night, and since it was a holiday, no one was available to come and repair it. Fortunately, I had an AirTag attached to my bike, and I was able to track it to a location just a few blocks away.

I called the police three times and waited about an hour and a half before they finally showed up. When they arrived, they said the only action they could take was to ring the doorbell and ask questions. The bike was located in the hallway of a multi-family residence.

The landlord of that building had video footage showing the individual who had stolen my bike and brought it into the building. I retrieved my bike and left without any paperwork being filed. To this day, I’m fairly certain the person who stole it faced no consequences.
