Glad she got her bike back though!You too can help me fight cancer, and get a lovely cookbook for your very own! My team's cookbook is for sale Click here to order. Proceeds go to our team's fundraising for the Philly Livestrong Challenge!

A friend of mine had a similar story. He saw a guy on his stolen bike (near where it was stolen, a few days after the fact) and he predicted the route the guy was taking and confronted him. The guy gave up the bike and told him that he'd "gotten it from a friend."

Wow. Glad she got away with it.
When I was in my 20s, I once chased down some kids who'd stolen a parcel from our rooming house's foyer/mail area. But that was heat of the moment. Doing it premeditated is a whole 'nother thing. Scary.

I'm glad the woman retrieved her bike from the thief...however, in the article it does state that the bike was UNLOCKED.
Why would anyone leave a bike unlocked in front of a bar (or anyplace for that matter)??? Geez, around here...I'd be surprised if an unlocked bike wasn't stolen.
