Law enforcement recovered it during an arrest and was found in his property. The police looked up the serial number and tracked it to my profile on Bike index where I had it marked stolen and finally I went and recovered my property at the evidence warehouse translated from English

I saw a group of people outside of the local bottle depot. I told them I had an open police report and would like the bike back. I told them I have the serial number and would call the police if they didn't give it back. I also had an open Bike Index file I could show them. translated from English
