  Its a mongoose decade. It was padlocked to a railing outside of a supermarket this evening. The rear tyre was flat and hanging off the rim.
I wouldn't normally dream of taking someone else's bike, but i think this has been abandoned.  I would hate to take it if the owner was intending to return for it, but on the other hand, i'd hate for the supermarket to get their maintenance man to trash it in the skip.

what should I do?  I'm thinking about giving  it 2 days. if its still there, cut off the padlock and keep it? Dunno if its even worth nicking. If it was a CC prolite, i would be gnawing through the padlock with my teeth.

problem is some chav will have nicked it before then anyway...

Take the bike!!!

Leave a message to an untraceable Phone Number (pay as you go) stating that you took the bike for safe keeping and if you want it back just give me a call and it will be handed over free of charge.  Do not mention the make and model of the bike in the message.

Whenever you visit the store stick up a new message (if the old one has been removed).

If someone claims it and tells you the make and model and they can describe it correctly then you can hand over the bike.

If not then it is yours.

If anyone asks who cut the lock then tell them that a couple of chavs did it and you stopped them and they ran off.  You only took the bike it keep it safe.

Just make sure you dont get caught on CCTV

^^ that sounds like a plan....

if you had left your crappy, uncared for bike chained up in a busy place with a crappy lock like that, would you be surprised if it got nicked...? I wouldn't.

It's probably gonna be a student's bike that got left there when he/she was pissed + now can't remember where it is or mabye it was the only treasured possesion of an orphan who is now in intensive care at local hospital after being knocked down by a bus when picking up small change in the road shortly after he/she chained it up with his lock that took a year to save up for.....

ohh if the nhs provide him crutches you pay tax to the nhs so fook him youve supplied the crutches and his healthcare in a roundabout way anyway.
   so theoretically that bike is quite rightly your :2funny: :2funny:

well. I went back there on Sunday night and it was still there. Only problem was I went into the store (as it was still open) and the lad who served me looked like a rider. I got it into my head that it might be his ( dont' ask why- criminals guilt I guess)- and I haven't even nicked it yet.  I thought about asking him if he owned it, but then thought, as soon as I mention it even if its not his, then he'll know I nabbed it.


So I didn't take it.


yet...

i'd be a shite  bank robber :LolLolLolLol:

go to thw shop again + if you see the guy agin, as him if he rides, say you think you saw him riding nearby. if he does ride, ask him where + what bike does he have.... Don't mention the decade.He'll tell you if it's his.
Shit, by the end of this thread someone else will have nicked it and you'll be crying into your beer.
You really want your back covered don't ya  ;)
