What -- and I say this with my whole heart -- the Fuck??
Imagine me when I peeped behind the plastic. I thought it would just be like some machinery and maybe a workdesk and it was THAT. I burst out laughing I was so surprised. My first thought was “I can’t climb over this, I’m wearing TEVAS.”

You need too demand a refund, because you no longer have a spot for your bike
I’m going to talk to the building about it but I doubt I’ll get one. Five years ago that would have been a significantly bigger deal than it is now, but at least approaching it from the POV of “Hey I paid for this” might draw attention to the fact that what they did is kinda fucked up.

Ye gods! Did the construction guys assume the garage owners would tell you and the owners assume the construction people would work around you? The slamming things into the wall thing looks like typical "It's their fault, they were warned" officious not-very-passive aggressiveness to me. Whoever slipped up, that's pretty awful behaviour.
I have no idea. We did get a notice that there would be construction in the garage, but it explicitly said “no action is required by you at this time” and the notification was mainly so we would know what the weird underground noises were. As far as I’m aware, no bike owners were contacted about their bikes needing to be removed.

Every part of this story makes me homesick for Chicago. Please keep us updated on how company responsible for this BS alternately dodges your calls or insults/threatens you. *wipes away nostalgic tear*
Yeah, it’s annoying but I kinda can’t help but just roll my eyes and go “Chicago”. I don’t think they’ll threaten me, but I don’t imagine they will be eager to get in touch.
