What happened

I store my bike in the basement of my apartment building which is locked, and there is a locked gate around our building. I came down tonight and saw my bike was missing. A neighbors bike which is kept right next to mine was also missing. My bike had a heavy-duty U-lock locking the back wheel to the frame so it is not possible that someone rode away on the bike. One of my neighbors was moving out today so I initially thought the movers grabbed the bikes by accident thinking they belonged to her but she is fairly certain they did not take the bikes. The basement where the bikes are stored is loaded with all kinds of tools and higher-priced items so it's hard to believe they were stolen - especially considering my bike was un-ridable and the other bike was covered in dust and the tires were completely flat. I plan on contacting my neighbor's moving company tomorrow morning.
