This is a pickle, isn't it? It would be stealing to cut the chain and take it but it would be wasteful to let it sit there and rot. If you cut the chain and breath new life into the bike, is that really wrong? You may get lucky and the city will cut the chain and the bike will turn up at auction but it will likely go for a stupid price.
