On FEBRUARY 18 2026, I arrived home to my apartment Complex ( Riverside ) located at 625 W 1st Street, Tempe, AZ 85281. I began taking trips up to my 3rd floor apartment unit #360; bringing personsal items back to home. Each roundtrip was approx. 15-20 min. I unloaded all items inside of the vehicle un about 3-4 trips and returned to unload both my road-bike and mountain bike ( the one stolen). When I arrived at the vehicle at 3:35pm I observed only one bicycle secured to the rooftop bicycle rack and one empty yakima bicycle rack with cable and lock cut, as well as , scratches on the passenger's side of the vehicle where the bicycle had damaged the paint when being stolen. I looked around the immediate area and did not observe the bicycle. I informesd the office, took pictures of the damaged propery/evidence and brought the road bike up to my apartment . The Trek Mountain Bike was secured to the Yakima Carrier with a 1" steel cable and lock. The Bike seems to have been stolen in between 3pm-3:35pm from the roof top of my secured vehicle parked in my parking space. This bike has been riden three times and purchased new June 14 2025 at 4:52pm from Global Bikes Ahwatukee location.
