Won't happen - i tried - after a while the council put a note on the bike with about 2 weeks grace for the owner to remove it or fess up, then they take them away to be taken to some recycleing scheme or something - probably give them to delinquents or crush them or something - i offered to buy one but they weren't having any of it. It's a right drag. Made me want to buy a bolt cropper.
But I would be asking Tesco, not the council. You don't think they could be persuaded to get an "eyesore" off their property?

I tied up at a Tesco next to this machine today. The tyres are well flat and the back wheel is well taco-ed, probably from sitting there for months. It's secured with an ordinary steel-link chain and a common masterlock-type padlock.
Looks like a good potential project. The headset and BB haven't seized. Anyone have any experience asking for permission to remove abandoned bikes? -

You said tits.
Any lock will come apart easily & quickly with powertools like angle grinders which are so cheap these days.
There was a thread about bikes being recovered from the markets not long ago where someone got the market police to free their bike which had been locked to railing with (I think two) Faghettaboutits .
Nothing is a match for the right tools. Caution is the best solution.
i think i was the first to pm re: rondinella and I got home just a little while ago.
phew! good thing i gave up on it. i don't actually have the cash for it, and i was going to make it my polo bike, which looks like would have earned me an angry crowd outside my window tomorrow night with torches, tar and feathers.
