Dumped bike by garages

Looking out my bedroom window a nice bike has been left propped against a block of garages 3 days later it is still there, then on the forth day my wife noticed a young lad arrive on his bike then got on the dumped bike road it around but the breaks did not work, then he put it back against the garage door and left, that night it has gone.
I do not know the outcome to this but what do you think?

I wheelie have no idea

our council has an online form to report this sort of thing

No idea whatā€™s going on there, sounds like someone has a lucrative business in the stolen bike ā€˜marketā€™.

Almost certainly stolen by someone local as a ā€œGet me homeā€ bike for free rather than a ā€œGet me home for Freeā€ car thief.

someone might have dumped it there if the brakes donā€™t work. Our recycling tip is about 3 miles away and if you donā€™t have a car itā€™s pretty much impossible to get there.

IMO the answer should come from a spokesperson :wink:

A stray bike would have been reported on the local community Facebook page in my area. Whether the bike gets back to its owner I donā€™t know but stray/escaped animals certainly do.
