Hi,
I have recently locked my bike to a tree at my apartment complex. It was not obstructing any cars/pedestrians. It was neatly tucked away. I came home yesterday to fine out it had been stolen. I put a notice up in my apartment block asking resident if they saw anything suspicious. That evening I received a call from the building manager who advised that he has instructed the contractor to remove my bike following x4 complaints from residents.
I got my bike back this am with a broken lock. I asked if this can be replaced as there are no signs informing me that ‘no bike to be locked to tree’. Manager reported that bike was not to be locked to the tree as it was private property. Is there any point in appealing this – it has just really frustrated me that they were allowed to break my lock and remove my bike without any advance warning.
Shall I just leave it or am I in my right to request my lock is replaced?
