Verhalen over teruggekregen fietsen

Bike Index sent me an email that it looked like my bike was on OfferUp. We called the Police who contacted the person selling the bike for $200. It appears that the person bought a storage locker in which the bike was in. The person turned the bike over to the police, who returned it to me. vertaald uit het Engels
