Stolen bicycles we helped recover recently:

Someone found my bike on OfferUp and thought the price was suspiciously low. I contacted the seller, and they themselves purchased it on OfferUp a while back. They were happy to return it to me free of charge! I can't believe I got closure on this bike after a year! translated from English

Someone browsing an industrial auction website noticed a suspicious looking bike up for sale. Checked against listings in Bike Index and boom, contacted me with the auction details. The police used Bike Index to trace the bike to me 5 years ago, now I'm reunited with it! translated from English

ETS donated the bike (or what was left of it) to Sports Central. They saw it on here and gave me a call. I went and picked it up immediately. Going to need some parts and work, but after 7 months I figured she was gone forever! translated from English
