So if I lock my bike somewhere and leave it for a few days I've abandoned it?!
If we're talking weeks or months that's one thing.
Victoria Embankment, just under waterloo bridge. Motobecane conversion been locked up there since pre-xmas, I think originally the front wheel was nicked but now it's missing a saddle too, not much else though. Walked past it this morning and it's now got a "Council Aware" sticker on it, detailing that it'll be gone in 48 hours (maybe less, I didn't go past it yesterday). So I'm guessing that pretty much means it's free to anyone who'll liberate it*

*may or may not be worth liberating.
