Guy sees own stolen bike for sale on Craigslist, steals it back

5/10/2012

Revenge on wheels! Cyclist Danny Lesh was dismayed when his Cannondale hybrid was stolen in Washington, D.C., but when the bicycle popped up for sale on Craigslist, he was aghast. Police told him they couldn't retrieve the bike right away, so Lesh took action himself. Posing as a buyer, he arranged to meet the guy who was selling it, took it for a test ride and drove off, stealing the bike back. "This guy finally started calling me, and left a message saying he was going to call the police," an amused Lesh said. Yeah, that's how he rolls.
