Gjenopprettingshistorier

Shortly afterward my bike was stolen Wednesday morning, I posted my Bike Index link on Twitter which was retweeted by BikeIndexSF and SFPD Anti Bike Theft. Long story short, I was able to recover my bike before it was sold and it was all thanks to Twitter, Bike Index, and a couple amazing human beings. oversatt fra engelsk

Police called us at 2:30AM saying that a guy bought the bike from someone else and then went on Bike index to see if the bike was stolen. Luckily, we had already created an alert on bike index. The police officer has been clear, without bike index he could not have found us! Bike Index report worked better than a police report. Thank you Bike index!!!! oversatt fra engelsk

After 6 months of looking for, and almost giving up on my bike, I received an email from a Bike Index user thinking they saw it listed on Craigslist. This person was hoping to purchase my bike, but saw that it was registered as stolen on Bike Index, emailed me about it, and I set up a sale with the supposed thieves who were listing my bike. 30 minutes before the 'sale' was to take place, I called the police and they assisted in retrieving my bike from the 'sellers.' My bike had a few broken parts, but otherwise in fairly good condition. I am so grateful to the Bike Index community! oversatt fra engelsk
