Police helped me get my bike back!

I posted before on this sub that my bike was stolen from my apartment’s locked bike room and the thieves used an angle grinder to cut the u-lock. This was back in early November. Well I saw the bike for sale on Facebook marketplace on Saturday, contacted the seller, and contacted the police. They said that once I had made a plan to meet with the seller that I could call them and they’ll arrange to have an officer there. I was surprised they were up to it but with regular updates I was able to have them there to retrieve the bike from the seller. They asked me if I had wanted to press charges but I ended up declining for several reasons.

The bike’s paint job was a bit more scuffed than I remember and it is missing a wheel spoke, rear fender, underseat bag, and triangle reflector but I’m very happy to have my bike back! And thankful the police were able to help! Gotta give credit where credit is due.
