Bike was returned! Someone found it half mile away in the middle of the road

That's crazy! Any idea why the thief didn't keep it?

Based on the guy who found it, it was a different guy than the one who stole it. So must have been some sort of exchange/trade.

Great time to make sure you have the serial number and get it registered on Bike Index. It doesn’t need to be stolen or lost to add it.

Something similar happened at Windsor Ballard last year. I’ll keep my eyes open and best of luck!

And yet another reminder to lock your bikes in the garage, keep the charger and battery in the house (if removable) and set up a cheap garage door or motion notification device
