This has been great reading so far guys, I too would be interested in seeing at least a digital pic of said bike in question....
a posted video clip of the liberation is of interest too...

I'm sure there are lots of us out there who commute in populated cities and have seen at least one or two bikes locked up somewhere, completely neglected and tickling our urge to come back with a set of bolt cutters to give it a new lease on life.....
