Anyone find an alu Cannondale frame over the weekend?

I stripped a friend's crash-damaged Cannondale over the weekend and left the frame by the recycling bins at the sea-end of St Aubyns.

I noticed the frame had been taken a couple of hours later and wanted to give a heads-up that it had been in a massive crash. Forks were hugely bent and even the headtube bent slightly. If it was anyone on here who took it just beware and don't build it up to ride. It's borken.

Next time...(!) give the top tube and stays a good stamping to hammer home the message that it's toast ;)

I really did consider that but the forks were soooooo out of shape that I didn't think it'd actually get taken. The stem was also seized good and proper (a shame as it was panto'd sepcialized). All in all a bit of a nightmare.

Ah - sounds like it was propper dead. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Except that dumping it by recycle bins is a bit off. People dump stuff by the bins near our place and it drives me bonkers.

Ah, I'll refer you to my latest tweet in this instance: https://twitter.com/specialegg

This happens all the time...

Oh. They bolt the lids down on ours meaning lazy fuckers just dump bags of plastic next to the bins. Gives me proper Victor Meldrew moments

Proper tragedy of the commons stuff. They need residential collections.

This guy just forced the bolts.

Report to council / polis

I know I know I know it will feel futile...
