As a professional bike thief, you would be surprised at what people leave out to be stolen these days! Like, NO, I do not want your %^&* GMC Denali! nor your old rusty huffy or "magna" whatever that is - its neglected, left out in the rain- full of rust and needs a complete overhaul. Oh I have been a sucker in the past, grab one of these bikes and then- 6 hours labor and $100 the thing can actually go down the street without being a danger to the itself, the rider, and others within a 30 foot radius. and still the bike sucks.
But what can I get for it? Like $30 if I am lucky. Often from the original owner as they are the only ones that want it. If I am lucky they give me a tip, but I am still out $60 to $70 dollars and have wasted half my day.
