[Highland Park] Found Mountain Bike: Orange/Black Gary Fisher Marlin (2007, I think?).
Hello Neighbors- Today around 6pm, I saw a bike abandoned against a fence in the 1100 block of Swan Way (the alley between Jancey and Chislett Streets in Morningside). When it was still there an hour later, I spoke with the homeowners of the adjacent house, who reported it was not theirs, had been there all afternoon, and had been lying in the street at first. This did not seem like the kind of thing an adult would do with their (not-inexpensive) bike, and this did not seem like the type of bike an irresponsible kid would be trusted to ride and leave lying around. It appears to have been well maintained and improved upon at some earlier point in its life. That period ended a year or two ago, I would guess. The dry chain and some rusted fasteners suggest it has been left outside recently. I don't want to be presumptuous, but my best guess is that a kid who either stole it, or bought it from someone who did, threw the chain, couldn't get it back on, and decided they'd walk away from it after some period of use. I'm withholding most of the specifics in the hopes that the owner will be able to provide those. There are a number of non-stock items that the original owner should be able to describe. I looked on stolenbikeregistry.com but found no matches for the serial number or description. If you lost such a bike in the past few years, know someone who did, or if you were the owner who left it today, please contact me at diersen@yaoo.com to arrange its return. Thanks- Matt
