I fully understand that. I get pissed off thinking about the kids that wasted their parents money buying a bike and then abandoning it to rust away, but I'm relieved to know they will be gone next week. Resolves any ethical issues
I might have had. My advice to you is to use that bike rotting away as a reminder that ethical behavior doesn't always feel good. Otherwise, try to get the bike legitimately.
My final point is that there are other bikes out there, go get one of those.
