Could it be Sawzalled off?

The most common thing I see is leaving quick release wheels unlocked. When I was in college there was a hole-in-wall shop that we swore would steal wheels then re-sell them to victims of wheel theft. Wheel theft was rampant. The approved lock-up method then was to remove the front wheel, set it next to the rear wheel and lock the seat tube, rear wheel, and front wheel to parking meter, fencepost, stair railing. As I walk around I see some great wheel sets I could easily walk off with. I wouldn’t though becuase I luv bikes and bike riders

I have the handwriting of a 15-year-old boy. I blame it on skipping 2nd grade.

What do you do when there’s a cool bike locked up around the corner from your house for like 6 months?

It is pretty clear it’s been abandoned/forgotten. I’m certainly not about to steal a bike, although if I knew who’s it was I’d offer em money for it. Somebody WILL steal it eventually though, I’m sure.

I’d put up a post on CL, but that might simply alert thieves to a bike that’s ripe for stealing.
