If it makes you feel better, I know too many Rutgers students in the area that leave their bikes around or just throw them away after a semester or two instead of just taking their bikes home. He probably gets many of his lower end bikes from this. At my school in southern nj they take all the abandoned bikes after the school year (several dozen) and donate them or throw them away. So many things in great condition get thrown out after every college school year because college students are too lazy to take stuff home or make multiple trips for their stuff.
