What's the law when you find a bicycle on public land?
I found a nice Nishiki Optima bicycle here in Boulder.
The guy/girl still had a full gatorade in the drink cradle, and food in a Safeway grocer bag with an expiration label as Nov2007 tied to the handlebars, the bike was there so long some critter ate a hole through the plastic to get to the bike. It's clearly been there for a minimal of 6 months.
