not completely off topic, but does anyone have any ideas on the protocol for taking parts or even the whole shabang from abandoned bikes? i've seen several bikes with one or both wheels missing that are frame-locked to a bike rack, and haven't moved for weeks. i could use apair of cranks, but i don't wanna take them if the person's got plans to deal with their bike...
i know if my wheel/s got stolen, i'd at least take the frame home and deal with it there...
