Guy Finds His Stolen Bike On Craigslist.

I'm listening to this story on the radio now.

This guy gets his bike stolen. (It's a 12 year old bike)

He contacts police but nothing gets done.

So his friends decide to check craigslist and finds the exact description of his bike.

So he poses with his friend as a girlfriend. . . and has his other friends wait in a car close by to call the police if they give them the signal.

He then says,"This is a nice bike" and his friend scratches her head. The other friends in the car call the police and within 4 minutes they get his bike.

The bad guy got caught. . .and he's charged with selling stolen property.

wow! thats a great story. I think this is the first time a crime was solved by using craigslist

 

lol thats pretty cool, kind of thing you would see on tv shows

 

Ya I read another story on the net where this person had a fight with her sister who's house she was staying in so she posted on craigslist that anyone could come into the house and take anything.

The house was wiped clean by people who took everything not knowing that this was not put up by the owner of the house.

Actually if you check out craigslist, there are many good stories posted on there

This is a pretty good one too

 

Hahaha good story. Such a small world

 

good story behind CL, the chance to find the bike on CL was not so high but they did it.

 

hahah nice story. It was his Luck i would say lol

BTW nice to know about the story...

 

Well, usually such kinds of co-incidents are read in some novels, but in practical life it's kinda strange, isn't it?

 

Well this is good story and what 12 year old did.

 

reminds me of that italian film the bicycle thief.

well, there was no craigslist then...

 

Thanks there is craigslist !

 

In England.

I radio host told a porn star he would love to sleep with her, and didnt care that his wife was listening on the radio.

His wife sold his 20,000 GBP car for like 20 quid BIN on ebay.

We found out later it was all a publicity stunt.

 

power of internet.

 

That's awesome. The theif must have been shaking in his boots.

 

Interesting. I've never saw any stories like that about Craigslist before.

 

I dont get it, how was he sure it was HIS bike? There is such a thing as more then one type of bike being made....

 

Well it was a 12 year old bike (not a boy) so it would have had distinctive features.

He also had the serial number with him and still on the bike that proved it was his.
