    Guy who bought it from the thief saw my ad on Craigslist and reached out. Was returned the day after it was taken.

    The team found it at the park and contacted me to pick it up!

    A man called me saying he bought the bike, and was going to register it on Bike Index, then he found that it was posted stolen, so we met up and I got it back. He didn’t ask for anything, but I payed him what he paid for it, which wasn’t too much luckily. When someone is so kind and does the right thing, it should be rewarded. I’m very happy I got my bike back!
