You could even add a disclaimer that the bike may not be suitable for riding.
My experience with college students is that they won't steal your bike if they think they're SUPPOSED to. I vote (wait... are we taking votes?) to just leave it in the bike rack and see if anyone just picks it up. Who knows? Maybe someone is sitting at home
right now thinking "Damn! I wish I had a piece of crap bike that nobody wanted for my Art Project!"
