No! Is that how you interpreted it? However, it is possible that the bike is stolen though it's not showing up listed on the local bike registry for stolen bikes. I've posted it as a found bike in two places (lost & found, and the bike classifieds) on the local Craigslist. I've gotten one response so far looking for a missing bike. The description made it clear that it was not the bike I found. Tomorrow I'm reporting it to the police.
I found it on the dark side of a convenience store near a dumpster laying on its side unlocked before sunrise. There was no one in sight along the block, around the corner, through the alley, or in the store besides the clerk. Not much goes on near that dumpster throughout the day except for drinking, drug dealing, pan handling, and things of that nature.
What would you have done?
