A co worker found it inside of the building where I made a delivery. It appears when I was parked outside of the elevator in the parking garage someone picked it up and took it to the third floor. My lock was still on it. The thief was unable to remove the lock. vertaald uit het Engels

I can not believe this bike was recovered, and it was all thanks to the Bike Index, and a watchful cyclist. A sellers ad was forwarded to me by another user on this site, and within 48 hours the bike was back in my possession. Couldn't have been done without your help! vertaald uit het Engels

So this is how it happened. I was at work on Tusday when I get a text from a random # asking if I was still missing my Commencal. I respond with a sure am and the person sent me a link to this sight Offer Up. Sure enough some guy is trying to sell my bike. So I call spd and they tell me that I should try to make a meeting with this guy. So I do and we set a meeting at south center mall at 630-7 at the Bank of America. So I call spd back and they say that I need to get in contact with Tukwilla. I call Tukwilla, they're like cool but let's make it at Office Depot instead. So I text the dude a little worried that I might spook him and ask if we can met at the other location instead. He says sure and says he is going to be driving a white navigator. So Jim, Jay, Dylan and my self post up in the parking lot and wait for the dude to come. Tukwilla pd say to text when he comes there were near by. They came fast rolling eight cars deep guns drawn. It was for real. The really nuts thing was that at around 5 the guy asks me if I want a Banshee Rune too, an other high end bike that was stolen from me as well. I tell him sure. So I got back my DH bike and my trail bike too! One year later! Couldn't have done this with out you amazing help!!! vertaald uit het Engels

Officers Scott and Young at the Portland Police Bureau were incredible in getting my bikes home almost immediately after they were taken. The bikes were effectively untouched. Thank you to the PPB and Bike Index for everything. I'm beyond appreciative and owe you all beers. To Officer Young, I owe you many shuttles at Post Canyon or any point-to-point trail of your choice. vertaald uit het Engels

Someone recently sold the bike via OfferUp. After purchasing, the buyer thought there was something odd about the seller being not the type of person who would build/own a custom S&S travel track bike. He looked up the bike, found it on the registry and returned it to me. I paid the buyer what he had paid for the bike + $100 for the effort and kindness. vertaald uit het Engels

I had posted my bike as stolen, with pictures, on Craigslist. A great human being messaged me to say someone was offering my bike as a trade and that it was posted on OfferUp. I then asked a local rider on mtbr.com if he would help me get it back, and he was down. So we met up and went to the sale together (Police were aware but unable to get us a stand-by unit in time). Thief let me test ride it, so my friend got in his car and drove away as I pedaled out of there, middle finger waaaaay up! We re-met down the road, checked the serial # and put my bike on his car rack and took it home. Len, thanks bro! vertaald uit het Engels

A member of Bike Index spotted my bike listed on a site called offerup.com. he messaged me. My son and I set up a time to "Buy" the bike from the "Holder" of the bike in a Lowe's parking lot. we arrived early and staked out the setting. I went in the store to wait. My son messaged me when they arrived. I went out to the parking lot further away and watched the situation. When my son confirmed the bike was mine, he gave me the pre-determined signal. I called 911. he went inside the store to "get money from the ATM" to stall. I saw the people were getting nervous and getting ready to leave. I went up and confronted them at that point to stall them. The police arrived in about 8 minutes after I called them. The police then confirmed details and I was able to take the bike home with me :D vertaald uit het Engels
