sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but it was a krypto that was broken with a giant steel pole. granted, it was an older krypto, and not the new york version, but a krypto nonetheless.

The general feeling is that you shouldn't think your cleaning up the neighbor hood if all you do is pull parts. Gotta pull the whole ride and dispose of properly. Rusty frames without trimmings are even uglier then with them.
The bike I have my peepers on has been sitting since early July, and I think if it's still un touched in September I will sleep at night if I can figure out away to get it away from the train station. It's got one of those silly sliding cable locks.

At least I don't have to worry about my concience bothering me. someone beat me to the punch.
