Ya gotta love CaCa. Leave your bike out front and everyone walking by wants to steal it. You could make a hobby of beating people with a bat while videoing the fun. Gak~
I live in Georgia and it’s common when you no longer need something you leave it in the front of your yard for someone to pick up. I’ve seen clothes, furniture, and yes often bikes. It’s possible someone thought it was a giveaway. Certainly possible anyway so setting up a trap to viciously beat someone is wrong.
