I was browsing the Facebook earlier today when I noticed that our local mountain bike advocacy group (sorba) posted a link to a stolen bike thread on MTBR. Well...I immediately recognized one of the "stolen" bikes.
The thread was started by a bike shop employee who thought my friend (who is a fvcking college professor) was a sketchy crackhead. Turns out he thought the two bikes my friend brought into their shop for service were stolen and he's trying to find the rightful owners.
The first bike listed was previously owned by me and JeremyR before that. And the 2nd bike my friend just picked up from a dude who was going to pawn it. I thought it would be funny to try and claim the bikes to see if they would give them to me.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fvck with this crap bike shop before we go back in and reclaim the bikes? Calling out your customers on a public forum is no way to run a business.
