Is this frame salvageable?

Hi there,

I suspect I know the answer to this already and if I am right then Plan B kicks in (use these parts and get new frame).
But what do people think the chances of bending this back fork into place are?
Would it ever be truly safe to ride on?

Context: someone tried to steal my old steel bike and bent the back fork.
Bike is a 1984 Raleigh Record Sprint.
Frame is Reynolds 501 (Buted Frame and Tubes)
The frame is not cracked, just bent.
