Id turn it into the local police department.If someone is looking for it they would know to call there first imo.I definitely wouldn't keep it in any situation like that because I didn't pay for it so it would be stealing no matter how you look at it.
I wouldn't feel right keeping it and why take the risk of getting in trouble over it?Just not worth it

Um, since this was posted over a week since april fools I doubt it.
The newbfest part yes, quite so.
I have 1/4 Apache, and a 1/4 Cherokee blood in me, each quarter from a different parent. Does that mean I can go around claiming everything I see because the land was conquered many years ago? No.
This is my trike. There are many like it but this one is mine. My trike is my best friend, and it is my life. I must master it as I must master myself. My trike without me is useless. Without my trike, I am useless. I must ride my trike true. My trike and I know that what counts is not the amount of miles we ride, but the time we ride together. My trike is human in it's own ways, therefore I will learn it as my brother. I will learn it's weaknesses, it's strengths, it's parts, and it's soul.

But yes, do as instructed, and inform and inquire about it to the beet company first, see if you can get it, if you do, then check with the local police to see if anyone filled a report on a stolen trike. If nobody has, I'd keep it, but keep my ears and eyes open for the owner if it was stolen and not reported, or was ditched by a kid or something.

No....you may only claim HALF of what you see as that adds up to only 1/2 Native AmericanOriginally Posted by Chazz of Blades
on the other, you have 898 posts racked up in just six months....which officially makes you a bigger post whore than MudClogz....and for quite awhile until they catch up. I figure in 6 months, you`ll have Edog beat and he took years to get that count.

You know, this same story happened to me once, except it wasn't a trike, it was a million bucks, and I didn't leave it in the field, and I was in a helicopter, and I was with my smurf friends.....

In that situation I would have left it alone....not touched it.....period
picture this:
you are a police officer on routine patrol when you spot a guy in the middle of an open field pushing a trike around. You stop and ask if the guy needs assistance and/or WHY he`s in the middle of the field pushing a mystery trike with the owner not present or known while the "trike pusher" explains that he doesn`t know who it belongs to, that he found it just sitting there, and that he was "just helping hide it from other thieves" by pushing it back to the woods. Then lets say the police officer runs the numbers and finds out the trike is stolen.....guess who suspect NUMERO UNO is? Yup....the guy trying to do a good deed....I wouldn`t touch it. Or try this shoe on for size: you are pushing it to "safety" when the OWNER shows up....what do you think his first thought would be? And he packs a gun?
Now if a fella gets stuck and has to leave his trike behind, he realizes the threat of theivery but chooses to leave it there anyway and therefore since it rightfully belongs to him, he has that right...best thing to do is not touch it and call the police if you think you may have spotted a stolen trike and want to help in the recovery....but still don`t touch it.....JMO

I think I like ironchop's opinion best. Probably shouldn't have touched it at all! That's not a criticism at all, just something I hadn't thought about until he illustrated what could happen! Do keep us posted on how it comes out, it's been fun to armchair quarterback about it!

Been in a similar situation. Call the lawn owner ask, If he knows who's it is, great. If he has no clue, then someone was trespassing on his property. Ask him if you can remove the trike, Most likely he'll let you. He doesn't want to spend time doing it. Bring it to your house, call the the local police department. tell them you found it, Not where or your name. Leave your number. If some calls regarding it, they will contact you. If its not the beet company's then its abandon property. The police will impound, then if not claimed it will most likely got to auction. If it turns up stolen, you can return it.

it belongs to somebody.... it didn`t get there by itself
that`s all i have to say on this matter. We`ve had similar threads before. Everyone wants to be a good samaritan but wanting to do good does not therefore give one the right to touch someone else`s stuff without permission....period....why isn`t this a no-brainer?

the least he could of done was get it unstuck and leave it where it was. run the vin number and likely you will get a owners name or it may come up stolen.
