Member 5, 25565 posts Administrator	there was a bike in the bike shed at work , sat there , doing nothing - eventually i moved the bike out of the shed and down the side , next to a fence (it was taking up rack space) the bike shed is semi out of the way of pedestrians etc. no-one has moved / used this bike since ATLEAST when i broke my wrist last september now, its started to go manky -chain rusty , tyres flat I wanted to just take this bike home do it up, use it as my own. my pal at work said i would be robbing it and could get in trouble/sacked. what shall i do ?

I think the person has left or was potted. the only thing that stopped me was my pal said , imagine being in a disciplinary and how it would look written on paper as my bosses made the case against me..... i also think not one single person will ever miss this bike and its about to go to s**t.

Secondly, is there CCTV in the area, and would you be seen removing the bike from the site when you’re intending to ‘borrow’ it. Thirdly, does anyone know the bike is in terrible condition? Because if not, you could say you borrowed it to cycle home one day (If you don’t drive to work that is). There is always a risk, but you need a solid backstory should you get get questioned down the line if your pal says something.

My mate is 100% solid as a rock there is no CCTV pointing at the shed but there would be of me leaving HOWEVER , this would have rely on someone bothering to actually look and thats if someone decided they wanted the bike and approached the managment the bike is rideable , but looking like its been left outside for 12 months ! I probably wont be doing anything at the moment, but its such a shame that people dont give a s**t about stuff

I was thinking of printing out some photos with a 'is/was this yours' and stapling it to the fance where it has been stood for months jt said:Is it the bike that belongs to the pyscho guy thats currently doing a stretch after beating someone half to death for messing with his stuff? because of the nature of what is inside , there does appear to be quite a decent turnover of staff , cant keep their hands out of the till so to speak PeteHodgson said:Ask a manager? not really wanting to DISS anyone at work, but i cant imagine any manager being bothered to give it their time/thought and they would probably just say 'its not yours, please leave the office now'.
