LEWISTON, Maine -- A happy ending for a Lewiston woman whose treasured bicycle was stolen last weekend.

The Lewiston Police Department said it has recovered the 1943 blue Huffy bike that belongs to 83-year-old Ruth Slovenski.

Ruth Slovenski, 83, was reunited with her 66 year old bike Friday. Someone had stolen it last weekend.

Slovenski’s bike was stolen on Saturday when she left it outside Maison Marcotte on Campus Avenue.

The bike was recovered at the Hannaford’s Supermarket on Sabattus street Friday morning.
A person told the police that he received the bike two days ago from a man, described as being in his 30s. The person told police that he had seen the news stories about the bike and wanted to return it to Slovenski.

Slovenski received the bike as a gift from her parents in 1943.

"Why should I get another bike. I love this one," said Slovenski.

Thanks, reddDesign. It's good to hear that the bike is found.

So, the picture in Bikeradar is not the real bike? At first, I was thinking who wanted to take a bike at this condition.

I think there are a few of us who wouldn't mind

that would be pretty cool to have the same bike when I was that old, or to be that old.

Good for her.
Good for Lewiston, Maine!
Now...I'm curious as to why (or how) this guy "received" the bike from the alleged thief.

So cool that she got her bike back. I want to be her when I grow up.
