My bike was stolen back in September. I registered it on Bike Index. Every few weeks I would get a link sent to me through Bike Index asking if this was my bike. They weren't, and I had pretty much given up hope on finding it. Then someone sent me a link to a bike that looked exactly like mine. I arranged to buy it. I met with police, who instructed me how to go about the purchase. They intercepted the purchase as soon as it started, and I got my bike back. translated from English
