Yesterday, I spotted my stolen Giant Trance Advanced mountain bike for sale on Facebook Marketplace.

The Seattle Police stopped a person driving a stolen car. My bike was in the trunk. This was a special bike because the frame was built by a cancer survivor who passed away. I'm a cancer survivor and I used my first bike 30 years ago to recover from cancer. This bike was irreplaceable. vertaald uit het Engels

My bike got stolen yesterday and changed hands 2X but Calgary Transit Peace officers saw the notice about my bike.

My bike was sold within probably 12 hours of it being stolen. The guy who bought it did initially check Bike Index but it must've been before I marked the bike as stolen. However, having misgivings, he checked again the next day and realized it was my bike and contacted me to get the bike back. vertaald uit het Engels
