Or cut the frame and keep the lock for a tenner!

So reading between the lines:
"theres a bike here and if you pay me £5 then i'll let you steal it."

It's only locked to the soil pipe. Wonder if the seller would be OK if I just sawed through that?

If he cuts the lock/drain pipe and then sells it am I in the clear if I buy it?

Depends if by 'in the clear' you actually mean 'guilty of handling stolen goods'?

Guilty of handling abandoned goods, no?

I suspect he'll be telling his "mate" it was stolen if there is a problem?

He should just cut the lock and wait - it'll go soon enough and if it doesn't put a sign on it saying "For Sale - £100" it will definately go then!
