Found on the sidewalk

Bike theft is rampant in Portland; stemming from a combination of drug addicts, plenty of bikes around, and scrap metal dealers that pay in cash, few if any questions asked.

So it's pretty common to see bikes still locked to racks with the wheels, seatposts or other easy to remove bits missing.

This one, however, seems to be in a league all its own. The headset was even pried out. All that's left is the bottom bracket and the crankarm. I'm surprised the chainrings haven't been removed by now. The frame will get hacksawed next, I predict. You might want to hurry and not let this bounty get away.
