2008 Trek XO2

What happened

Theft occurred around February 28th, but cannot be 100% sure of exact date because of a very busy week (got married the weeke before and was very preoccupied). Fairly sure it happened the day I reported it, as another high-end bike was stolen from the same garage inside a locked storage unit the day before. Most likely a planned theft, as there were multiple unlocked and more easily accessed bikes available but all were of lesser value than my own and the other stolen bike. Called police immediately upon discovering the bike was missing and they came to fill out the report and investigate. The storage locker next to mine was not locked so the thief entered through the adjoining wall by cutting a large hole in the wire mesh between the two units. There were many valuable items in the locker but only the bike was stolen.
