Raleigh Grand Prix

Raleigh Grand Prix

What happened

The bike was not locked but stored in a secure (I thought) location in a storage room in a basement of my workplace. Few people have access to the space- employees, repairpersons, etc. I know now I was too trusting, but I believed fellow staff knew the bicycle was mine and if anyone saw someone walking out with it (which would be EXTREMELY hard to do without someone seeing) they would intervene. I went down to get it to ride it home on Wed 1 June and found it was missing. A co-worker said he definitely saw it exactly one week ago, so the incident happened sometime between 25 May and 1 June. It's my fault, I know, but I really want my bike back!
