<p>Well, GUESS WHAT? The owner moved it once this week. This was an unexpected shock. It's not abandoned, just severely neglected to the point of appearing abandoned.</p>

<p>Call police non-emergency number. They can put a notice on it. If the notice is not removed within the ordinance specified time frame, they will remove it, and once the waiting period is over they can auction it or give it away.</p>

Yep...that's where this thing is headed. Lots of people see it every day so maybe it still has a fighting chance. I just felt like venting.

<p>Up to a point, yes. I grant you this isn't the same category as an abandoned car, but after a certain amount of time it stops being just the problem of the owner.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The correct attitude is not to try to "save" the bike, but to treat it as abandoned property, and ask the police or the alderman's office what to do if they can't or won't handle it.</p>
