Abandoned Bike? Orange Varsity

I've seen the same orange Schwinn Varsity along the Eliza Furnace trail for 2 days now. At first I thought it was locked up, but upon closer inspection, it's unlocked and looks to be abandoned. Sorry, I don't have a pic, but it has straight/riser handle bars with purple brake levers. Also, the saddle says BMX along the side. It's resting along side a bench about a half mile from the Hot Metal St bridge going towards downtown. Thought I post this in case anyone had a bike like this stolen. I'll try to get a picture uploaded later today.

I saw that last night too and stopped to see if it was locked, which it is, with a U-Lock (I thought?) It looks like it's in pretty decent shape, shiny chrome

it's been there for at least four weeks now. It has a u-lock through the frame to the bench.

Okay, I must have missed the ulock.

Does that show it without a U-Lock?

Wasn't there today, when I passed by in the evening. Hopefully, it's gotten back to its rightful owner.
