Guy Finds Stolen Bike on Craigslist, Steals It Back

When Danny Lesh found his stolen bike listed for sale on Craigslist and police couldn’t help him right away, he decided to take matters into his own hands. The $600 Cannondale hybrid, which had a prominent identifying sticker on it, was listed for sale for $100 and Lesh arranged to meet with the seller-slash-thief to take the bike for a test ride. But instead of coming back to pay, Lesh just rode off with his property, NBC Washington reports.

"This guy finally started calling me, and left a message saying he was going to call the police," Lesh says with a laugh. He put up an ad on Craigslist warning other users about stolen bikes being listed for sale, and says, "I'm glad that, hopefully, his business is interrupted a little bit."
