Nishiki sport...in the bushes!

So I was biking home yesterday, and there's a duplex that is being gutted. There, sitting in the bushes, next to a craptastic murray MTB, is a turquoise Nishiki sport, that looks all original (suntour components, foam hand grips, etc) in perfect shape, except a Titanic-rusty chain. Everything else is rust-free. I'm guessing that, given the dew and dampness from the past couple days that it's been sitting there for a couple days, so I put a sign on it and asked the owner to call me if they wanted to get rid of it.

Bah! it's just the waiting that's driving me insane. However, I'm keeping a VERY close watch on the place...if it's in a dumpster, it's mine.
