Truth. This person may have had to suddenly up and leave the area due to any number of circumstances. How nice for him or her to return and find this bike right where they left it. If it's been there for 6 months now unmolested, I'm guessing that vultures are not a problem and the seat, wheels, bars etc will in all likelihood not be stolen in future. If you are truly paranoid about someone stealing it, check with the local bylaw office. I'm sure there is something in there about abandoned property. The cops will cut it down, and auction it off. Then if you really want the damn thing, go to the auction and buy it.
