I agree, cover all bases, leave a note, ring the council, or whatever americans call it ermm municipality??? check out the new york laws on abandoned property, drop the chain, ask around, give a donation to the church then take the bloody bike!!!
Then it would be legally as well as morally the right thing to do
Its been abandoned folks, you can not steal it if it the owner had intentionally reliquished ownership and responsibility for it, Its new york after all, he probably got killed by some mafia crack hos when a drug deal went bad or something :twisted:

Thanks for all your input, a lot of very valid opinions here. Last night I went past again and left a note on the bike expressing my intentions. I also did some checking with NYPD and it seems as though its completely legal to take a bike so long as its been abandoned for over 6 months and you can prove it.
luckily Ive been taking pictures of this bike every month or so to be able to see weather its been being moved and those digital pics have time stamps. Now as many of you have correctly assumed I'm encountering some moral dilemmas over stealing a bike. I work in a bike shop, I have been an avid biker my entire life and I have had a ridiculous number of bikes stolen from me (both from under me and coaxed out of my various locks).
As someone on here said "its just a cindercone" and while they do ride pretty well its no Lobo or Yo Eddy. So Ive decided to keep checking on it until first snow (probably another month or so) and if my note hasn't been answered and the bike is still there I'll get the cops to cut the lock for me and go home with it.
