I do property cleanouts for work and one of the units we cleaned out today had this bike in it. I sent photos to local pd, and made a post about it in a local Facebook group for potentially stolen items. What is the Bluetooth button thing?
Assuming no one claims it, is it worth keeping and fixing?
Yes, premium brand and components. It looks well used

Santa Cruz is a USA bike brand. Pretty high end. Not sure of the model as I can’t make the name on the top tube. If stolen, then it might have been reported to police, or maybe bike shops, internet forums etc. If not stolen and you got it legitimately, it could be worth some good money possibly.
Possibly has a wireless shifter. Not too sure as I know little about them.

The “Bluetooth button thing” is the shifter. This bike has wireless sram axs shifting.

that’s a nice bike that looks decently well maintained. Bluetooth is for wireless shifting. there’s a corresponding battery pack on the derailleur
If you aren’t already a pretty serious rider this thing would be way overkill for you. You’d be better off selling it and using half of the money to buy a bike for your needs.

Looks like a Blur 3 (2018-2021). Nice XC bike. Worth several grand depending upon condition.

That is a Santa Cruz Blur CC. Santa Cruz is a mid-to very high end bike manufacturer. The Blur is the cross country (XC) racing bike. The CC means it is their highest grade of carbon fiber.
Other misc. observations. Those are pretty high end carbon wheels, and the tires are nice too. Can’t see the hub clearly. The front fork is Fox based on the kashima coating on the stanchions, and is most likely a float 32 or 34 based on that bikes intended function. Wireless shifting is still something reserved for high end drive trains, and this bike is no exception.
All in all, this is a VERY nice and capable bike. Like, good enough for most pros. It also looks like it has been ridden hard, so I would get it checked out at a shop, especially since most if not all of that bike is carbon fiber.
Last thing I will say is that if the owner of that bike sees your ads, they will definitely recognize it. Especially with the weird wrap on the fork lowers.

Looks like a Santa Cruz Blur CC maybe 2017?- CC = higher end lighter carbon fiber, set up for XC racing by the lack of dropper seatpost, lower travel front Fox 34 Kashima fork (maybe 80mm?) with remote lockout. Colorway and logo may also predict year looking at their bike archive. Racing pedals too. If wheels are good like Nox carbon, you can add a few more hundo to the asking price off the bat. looks kind of rough, maybe can clean it up before selling. Any cracks in the frame and value drops to almost nothing except the parts..

Contact Santa Cruz [support](https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-ca/pages/contact) with the serial number, the owner likely registered it and they might help track them down. That’s someone’s dream bike and they’ll probably be very grateful to get it back.
If that is a dead end, congratulations you just found the mountain bike equivalent of a Porsche 911.

try looking up the serial number on bike index: https://bikeindex.org/search/registrations?serial=&distance=100&location=you&stolenness=stolen
Nice bike, if it fits you, use it. If not, sell it it’s probably worth a couple grand.
