RECOVERY DESCRIPTION: CSBR received an email on August 17th: My bike and my roommate's were stolen from a garage that was accidentally left open. I posted my bike on CSBR immediately and within less than 24 hours, my bike was recovered and returned to me. My neighbor was out for a walk when he spotted three bikes stashed in bushes about half a mile away. He grabbed the bikes and stored them while he worked on finding their owners. A friend of his suggested he check CSBR and sure enough, he found my post and emailed/called me!
So happy to have my wheels back. Thanks again!!
