Should a bike suddenly appear, chained outside your front door in such a way as to impair your ability to get in and out, which, when asked around, no one will claim for fear of having to get up and carry it up the stairs to their apartment to block their door, one may find said owner with ease.
First, find a bike chain of your own. Chain said bike as intricately as possible where it has been left. Attach a note to the chain which reads, "As no one was able to account for ownership of this bike, I have taken the liberty of securing it a bit more until the owner returns. If you are the owner, you can find me, and the key to this second chain, in <insert your own address>."
Rest assured that the owner will appear very quickly to lay claim to the bike, at which time you can express to him or her the inconvenience of where it had been left, but reassure them that, should it happen again, you'll be right there to chain it up for them and unlock it at your earliest convenience, should they need to get to it.
Problem solved!
