That rack was in a bike room which used to have a lock on the door - common access key that hundreds of residents of the building have - but the bike room door is no longer locked (handle replaced with non-locking version). To gain access to the room, you must be past building security with doorman or fob access (or tailgating). There are cameras all over the condo, but no news on if the condo management was able to see who walked off with it.
