Found: Red Schwinn Frontier

I was walking on Spahr Street in Shadyside this morning and came across a red Schwinn Frontier that was just ditched on the sidewalk. I came back just now (8:00 p.m.) and it was still right there. I locked it to a nearby pole and left my name and number (saying it was in "protective custody").


The bike was fairly beat up, probably a vintage 2002-2005 model, and had a chain and combination lock wrapped around the top tube.


What's the protocol for this? I don't really want to leave it there forever (the lock or the bike). I put up a post on Craigslist. Is there a thread here I missed reporting this stolen? Or should I just leave well enough alone, and leave the bike back loose on the sidewalk.

I think you've done everything you can. If you don't hear anything in a couple weeks I would drop it off at free-ride.

You might want to conact city and campus cops and see if anyone reported it stolen as well.
