Its too bad your last few weeks you will end up driving your car, but I can't blame you for not wanting to find a solution to a problem thats pretty short-term. If it was me I would have not brought my bike inside without asking if it was ok with someone first, but maybe the way everything was set up logistically it wasn't a big deal. Someone else mentioned that it could have been stolen from the coat room and thats a legit concern.
