The resident of an East Wilson Street apartment who reported his missing bike to the Madison Police Department is one of many residents who lost their bicycles in a massive theft Friday.
Joel DeSpain, the MPD spokesperson, said a maintenance worker who left the apartment on the 20 block of East Wilson Street noticed the basement was full of bicycles when he ended his shift Friday night.
The maintenance worker noticed approximately 10 to 20 bicycles missing from the basement Saturday morning after a resident reported his $1,200 Cannondale bike missing.
Police do not have an estimate for the cost of stolen bikes since some victims are not yet aware of the theft.
There was no sign of forced entry, according to DeSpain, and police currently do not have any suspects in custody.
Police are still investigating the theft and trying to track down victims who stored their bikes in the basement.
