Suspicious looking bike

For the past 3 weeks, I have seen a poorly spray painted bike locked outside of the physics and engineering buildings. It looks like a very decent aluminum frame, with 105 gruppo. Looks like someone took a can of white and black spray paint to it. Possibly stolen? Or maybe the owner just doesn’t want it to be stolen. Either way, very suspicious to see such a nice bike locked up outside on campus. Has anyone else seen this?

check the serial # and look it up?

if the serial is gone… then likely it is stolen.

im gonna say something we all know:

ppl make their bike look crappier such that they dont attract attention and get stolen. Ive seen really nice modern treks with their identity conceled (appart from the head badge, lol -which gives it away) and made to look like crap.
