i’ve also been known to give details to people that have had their car damaged by others that have driven off as well as go out of my way to contact people that have lost phones etc.
well, I’d probably hand it in/find the owner money and all, though I think they’d be cases when I would keep the money.
For example, I found a GPS unit in the middle of the bush a few years ago. I could tell it belonged to a Govt Department, and I could tell it had been there for 3 months, so the department would have written it off, and at the time I was thinking of buying one, so I kept it.
Depends, Could be hard trash
Have come across this before. Saw it in the morning, Checked it for cobwebs (there were), left it there until i left work and on the way home I took the parts i wanted.
otherwise, if its nice ill post on forums or leave a note where it was with my contact deets
(Edit, honestly im too lazy to post on a bunch of random bike forums so i’d just leave the note)
have done the above before. old cecil walker step thru kinda thing, thought it was a fold up bike initially. locked it to a pole, spoke to local businesses to see if they knew who it belonged to, left a note then put it in the secure lane behind work.
that was probably 12 months ago now, finally remembered to take it home last week. it’s fucking rad, albeit heavy as hell.
