Default Scored a free $1000 Bicycle

Lolz.

Long story.

I'm an RA at my university, and some chump left his Trek 1.5 road cycle at the dorm after everyone moved out. I said screw it and chopped his lock and road it on home. Then I found out that the University police were going to contact the bike owners before they throw them in the dumpster. So i bought a cheap lock and returned the bike.

Got a call from a friend at the college today, and he found it in the dumpster along with the rest of the bikes UPD threw out. Considered Abandoned property, up for grabs. I'm sure daddy will buy the kid another. h:

Not actual bike, but this is the exact bike.



I'm pretty stoked, because I wouldn't be able to afford this caliber of a bike yet, but I ride my cheap roadie enough to warrant one.
