Schwinn Le Tour, approx 1973

What happened

Bike was at the bottom of the stairs, inside two doors. My downstairs neighbor noticed it was missing, along with a few other things, when she took her dog out first thing this morning. The building door lock has been a known issue property management has not fixed and there were chips in the door suggesting it had been pried open.
