If it's not locked you should do what I did and report to the pigs and let them come collect.
Then 1 hour later when you're still waiting for them but not wanting to leave because it will be stolen you phone up asking where the fuck they are at which point they tell you there's no record of your original call. So a bit pissed cos you've sat around waiting, you discuss with the officer on the phone and agree you'll take it home and they can collect there - because you're not willing to walk away but on the other hand you have stuff to do and you're not able to hang around all night.. waiting. Then in the following months you make numerous regular and repeated phone calls asking why on Earth no police officer's come to even look at this bike because you would actually like this bike to be reunited with it's rightful owner because you know how utterly gutting losing a bike can be. And so forth until eventually 3 months after recovery they come and collect.
