To Catch a Bike Thief: D.C. Cyclist Tracks Down Stolen Bike Online, Steals It Back
[Image: AP]The story of how a Washington, D.C., cyclist who recovered his stolen bike isn’t the biggest news of the day, nor the most dramatic, but it’s an absolute inspiration to those of us who love our bikes and fear having them stolen. NBC Washington’s Richard Jordan explains:
He arranged to buy his bike back. A man came out of an alley at 5th and Longfellow streets NW with the bike, and Lesh took it for a “test ride.”
Lesh simply rode off without paying.
“This guy finally started calling me, and left a message saying he was going to call the police,” Lesh said, laughing.
