At my part time job someone abandoned a beat up old mountain bike. Not locked up or anything. It was there for an entire day before I brought it inside. We have kept it in a lost and found for almost a week.

I want it, since no one is coming to claim it, but my manager thinks we should call the police to see if someone reported a bike missing.

I am thinking that most likely no one called it in, or that the police will just impound it and I will never see it again even if no one ever claims it. What's the right way to go about doing this to see if anyone is looking for it without the police just snatching it up (or do they even do that?)

Stephen Colbert made a joke last night on The Colbert Report. He said that vodka is the official drink of Easter for the Russians because, "if you down enough of this swill, it will rise again."

Do you need a premium account to get the pls links? I just get a popup window that plays through my browser. Doesn't seem to be flash-based, though.

No, you don't. If you get the flash popup, there's a little gear icon next to the volume. Clicking that will show options for the type of stream you want, and you can choose "Winamp/Itunes/VLC," which should then connect you to a PLS file.

The problem is that going through those menus doesn't work on my tablet :-/

After enabling Timeline on Facebook, how the hell do you get to your own photo albums anymore?

The "quickest" way I can find is to click on my profile picture, then click on the link to the profile picture album, then click on 'Albums' to get to them. There isn't any direct link, at least as far as I can see.

I have my old World of Warcraft game boxes lying around, and I don't play the game anymore. Those are just trash, right? There's no feasible way to sell the box?

edit: I should note these aren't just empty boxes but like... the total thing you'd buy from retail. Box/cds/instruction manuals/everything.

I went to Target and purchased a PC video game. I got home and realized I already have it and need to exchange. I checked the bag and they didn't give me a receipt. Seriously, they didn't.

The game is unopened. Can I return it for something else? Will it help if I go back the same day?

I recently got a kinda-older laptop and hooked it up to my TV, so I can watch online videos on a big screen with decent speakers. I'm looking for a wireless keyboard/mouse/input device that will allow me to type a URL, move the mouse around, and click, while giving me a small form-factor, and that doesn't need a mousepad/smooth surface to work on. (Maybe an Android app?) Anyone have any ideas? Is there a more appropriate thread in IYG that I should be asking in?

So, I always thought a cable is a cable is a cable but...

My micro USB cable for the AC adapter for my Galaxy Nexus got damaged, so I got a replacement generic from the generic wireless store in the mall.

I've had it plugged in here, and it's taken like 30 minutes to charge only 10 percent (which is really, really slow). And, when I used it, it actually dropped from 35 to 34 percent while still charging.

So, piece of crap cable? How do I know what the good ones are?
