I spotted a middle-range Peugeot chained to a rail near a bus stop, and it sat there for more than a month before someone made off with the wheels and saddle. A few weeks later as I was going home, a city worker was cutting it down with a bolt cutter so I stopped and asked for it as he was tossing it into the back of his truck. He said "no problem!," so I offered him some cash (which he declined,) and took the remains. Got a usable set of 105 components and sold the frame on CL.
