Verhalen over teruggekregen fietsen

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!!!! vertaald uit het Engels

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! vertaald uit het Engels

A babysitter saw my bike off the side of the road looking suspicious: no lock, helmet and lights in tact, and sitting on a main thoroughfare with no one in sight. I'd already reported it stolen to the authorities; she found my bike listed as stolen on Bike Index, took down the case number, and called it in to the police. My bike was returned to me the same day she found it. Thanks! vertaald uit het Engels
