Verhalen over teruggekregen fietsen

An officer from the Portland Police Department saw my bike against a transient motor home. Knowing the bike cost more than the motor home he looked on Bike Index and saw my bike was stolen. He called the original owner, the shop that bought it, and then me. vertaald uit het Engels

Interdicted the person who had, Unfortunately was a homeless female. Bike Index did a great job because the Police Station had your report on the wall and everyone knew about it at the local PD, so when we called and said we found it, they knew right away what bike it was. vertaald uit het Engels

Thank you Bike Index! A guy who got my bike in an auction sold the bike to another guy who (thankfully!) checked Bike Index after purchasing it. He saw it was stolen and was decent enough to reach out. Without Bike Index he would not have had a way of knowing it was stolen or finding me. Thank you! vertaald uit het Engels

Registering my bike on Bike Index over a year ago was my proof of ownership. Enough people around town knew my bike. Two fellow bike enthusiasts came to my aid by identifying and locating the bike, and staying with it until I got there. vertaald uit het Engels

I purchased the bike from a local shop that had recorded the sale, my name, and the serial number. They told me to list it on Bike Index. A month after the theft I got a call out of the blue from someone saying they had my bike. They knew about Bike Index and acted with integrity. So grateful. vertaald uit het Engels

I have had several people looking out for this bike and contacting me over the past few months but finally, somebody messaged me on Stolen Bikes NOLA and said they had my bike.

Got a tip from an SPD officer through Bike Index that the bike was on OfferUp. Contacted the seller and gave them the Bike Index link.

A high school in Portland has a bike repair "shop" class. They receive bikes to work on. How they got my bike is a mystery. Whoever stole it maybe abandoned it.

Three people reported leads due to my posting on Bike Index.
