Haha, that's awesome. Reminds me of putting a car on the roof of the high school with a forklift during homecoming 
Or putting the boss's truck on the roof of the foundry when he wasn't looking -- I wish I was working that shift that night! 
It's good to be able to take a joke that doesn't hurt anything

Scissor-lift? Or did someone carry up a ladder?
Did someone get it down for you at least?

We have a very tall double-sided ladder. This is my beater Huffy MTB I leave at the shop to ride before work and during lunch.

I remember seeing a video where they had a hydraulic personnel lift parked around a corner. The victim rode up, locked his bike to a light pole there. While he was in the store, they lifted it up, put the triangle of the frame around the light pole, and lowered it back to ground level and left it there, then parked the lift around the corner again, and let the guy wonder how his bike got that way.

Depending on how it was secured, I might not want to work underneath it, though.

Nothing wrong with a bit of harmless pranking in the workplace. It can have a real morale boosting effect.
When I owned the bike shop, I had a young, good natured teenager working for me, and he was often the target of pranks. Only because we knew he would take it in the spirit it was given, and it was never malicious.
One time, we sent him out for sandwiches, and while he was gone, we took the left crank off his bike and flipped it 180 degrees so it was mounted the same way as the drive side crank. He walked right by the bike all afternoon, and didn't notice until he hopped on it to ride home.
He laughed as hard as the rest of us.

At first I thought I misplaced my bike. Then when I could not find it, I thought someone stole it! Then I thought, "Who would steal a Huffy?"

Awesome...
Nothing wrong with a little good natured ribbing or practical joking at work. Especially when the recipient takes it so well.
Miss that about being in the trades.

Too bad they didn't think of adding a front basket and a funny alien riding shotgun....

And my thoughts were similar.

At least your co workers are pranking in good fun.
One of mine is a malicious little b!tch. So far it's been one slashed tire, my rear derailleur stomped in, (over $300 in damages on that one) and a broken bike storage hook.
Unfortunately HR takes a dim view on what needs to happen so I have to work within the system.

OSHA may have something to do for all their entertainment too.
But then there may be retaliation against the OP, so Nevermind..
