Why won't anyone steal the bike?

 I don't understand it. Bikes are stolen all the time, but not this one.

About a month ago, before I planted some kalanchoe out into the street, a men's bicycle was dumped on the ground next to the tree. No bike chain. A broken bike.

After a few days, I used one of its pedals to prop it up on the curbstone next to the street, and it's been there ever since. No-one has taken it. 

Okay, so the bike is broken, but surely it's worth something as scrap metal, so why won't anyone take it? Whenever there is a bulky rubbish collection and people put their junk on the street, anything that is made of metal is the first to go.

Why won't anyone take this bike? I don't understand it.
