Paul Bike recovered 2016.6.22

According to the person who returned it, he was approached by someone in a parking lot who offered to sell him the bike for $300. He ended up buying it from the guy for $100, then searched it on the Bike Index and found that it was stolen. He then contacted me to pick it up. I paid him the $100 that he spent getting it back. Big thank you to bike index. As I see it, one of two things happenned here. Either the thief was unable to sell it because of it's presence on Bike Index, or the honest person discovered its status as tolen on Bike Index. Either way, I haver no doubt that I would not have ever seen my bike again without Bike Index. Thank you very much. translated from English
