I'm no bike savant, but this neighbour has been doing weird things to my bike now and again. The problem is I can't catch them in the act. The strata council in my building doesn't allow us to keep bikes in our units, and all the other bike rooms are full, so I don't have anywhere else to store my bike when it isn't in use. But I am a lot more careful about giving it the once-over before heading out now.
