They had to come thru the back gate (which is locked and a different key than even our front door gate), and go up three sets of stairs to pull the bikes from where they were in a little nook on our porch (out of site).

We live in a condo in Logan Square and only people with a key to the back gate have access. They had to go thru that door, and up two flights of stairs to get to our back door. The bikes were out of sight, in our little nook on our porch, right beside our back door. In the photo attached, you'll see the all black bike.
