LOL...Man sees his stolen bike on Craigslist, steals it back

Danny Lesh admits he’s a vigilante. But on Bike to Work Day, he’s a hero to bikers everywhere.

The Washington, D.C., man told DCist and local TV stations his bike was stolen, then posted for sale on Craigslist. Lesh says he responded to the ad, took his own bike for a “test ride,” and drove off with it. A spoke for a spoke, so to speak.

Lesh said his Cannondale was locked up with a cable lock on a friend’s porch when it was stolen Sunday. The next day, it was for sale for $100 on Craigslist (he says he bought it for $600 in 1998). Lesh says he was able to ID the bike through a unique sticker.

He called the number on the ad and arranged a meeting. On the way over in a cab, he called the police, but they declined to send an officer to the meeting. So Lesh just handled it himself. He says a man walked out of an alley with the bike, they haggled over the price, Lesh took the bike for the test ride, threw it in the trunk of the cab, and left.

Wait until you guys use your brain (facilitated by yours truly, of course) and realize the guy who was selling it probably bought it from the real thief... still leaving one person effed over.

This has been your daily Reality Check.

MORANS!

So? Even if it was true, the guy who bought it from the real thief has no right to it. He could seek damages from the real thief.

The friend, if like my friends, would be more than happy to deal with the bike thief.

Not everyone is a pussy.

Hey idiot....it said the add was posted the day after the theft.

You suggesting it was stolen, sold, and posted within 24 hrs?

Who cares what you think. I'd have taken my bike back too.

Lyke omgz lyke ur so right. A thief would definitely take his time selling a STOLEN bike.

Lawlz all dayz.

Because I said it was wrong to steal it back?

Lawlz all dayz.

Keep up the prejudice. You're the reason Obama is in office.
