Presumably it’s not in the middle of a desert. I have spoken to police in an area where a friend was thinking of buying and was told, albeit unofficially, to avoid certain streets. Building managers often quietly record any thefts and break-ins so they know if they need to beef up security without alarming the residents or potential occupants.
So, yes, report break-ins and thefts.
On the question of expensive bikes, they are very vulnerable and I know one block where to such machines disappeared from the bike room where they sat unlocked and unused for months. There was not way of telling who took them or when (presumably during a move). But simple security, like locking them to their racks, would probably have saved those bikes.
In my block, the only serious security breaches and major thefts occurred in the early days when the corrupt and incompetent building manager, employed by the developer, gave master keys to his staff.
