Possible abandoned Triumph TT in Manchester?

Figure you guys could be the best place to put out checks on this one, before I ask the police.

Basically, there's a Y reg Triumph TT that's been sitting for about a month in the bike parking area outside my work in Manc city centre.
Blue, with after market exhaust on it.
Wing mirrors are ripped/snapped off, unfortunately.

Just wondering if that rings any bells for a missing bike of someone you know, or something. It has the disc lock on though.

Homeless guys that sleep in the area alerted me to it, and they obviously don't want to have to deal with the plod.

Could run it through one of those history check sites, not sure how often they get updated.
That'll cost you a few £ though.

Cheapest option is to ring 101, give them the reg and the info you've posted here.
Definitely sounds suspicious, disc lock could easily be put on by the thief to make sure it isn't re-stolen, they're not expensive.

From what I can see, you can report abandoned vehicles on one of the .gov websites.

I'll likely do that, but wanted to see if someone knew of a someone missing their bike in this area.
Or, I may just grab a plod if they wander by while I'm there.
