TGR-
Indeed, but without knowing the circumstances in depth personally, such as recognising a close loved ones bike ridden by a stranger, it’s only ever ‘possibly’.
I wonder if there are the equivalent to Good Samaritan statutes or precedent that might apply to a 3rd party that takes it upon themselves to secure a theft-prone, high-value object that is reasonably perceived as abandoned in an insecure environment. 🤔

What’s the legality of rescuing possibly stolen goods abandoned in public to reunite them with their owner? Is it a defence against possession of stolen goods?
