Yes I did. Saw the guy riding my stolen kids 10 speed bicycle. Several adults held them there until the police came. and I got my bike back. +1 (30 some years ago maybe closer to 40 years ago)
Few years later, the poor bike got stolen again and I never saw it again. -1
Keep a lookout. It may not have travelled too far.
So my bike stays inside my house. NOT in the garage, not in the shed out back... My bikes are in my bedroom. guarded by two fierce tail wagging golden retriver and tail wagging white lab (he, at least, has a mean 'ol bark).
oh my sister and her husband had their MTB stolen out of the garage (it even had a garage door opener with the rolling code thingy)
Chances are pretty slim but you might get lucky and find your bike. Check with local bike shops and craig's list often.
