Finally riding a big boys bike

I’m OK with that. We’ve had it a few years now, no trouble.

Funny you bring that up. Neighbor is an older, retired guy, who delivers parts for Oriley Auto Parts, two days a week. Stuffing a bag of trash in the dumpster, he finds a bike. Brings it home, calls the cops. The bike is a Framed “Woftracks” fat tire bike, covered in cheap green spray paint. List price was about $1500 when it was new, and, the cops are interested in seeing it. The CSO comes over, takes a picture of the serial number, and tells the neighbor if he doesn’t hear back in three days to use or dispose of it how he wishes. He disposed of it at my house. We cleaned up the bike, and my son uses it to train for his HS mountain bike racing team. I checked with the cops, and they told me they have a record of recovery on the bike, attempted to find the owner, and released it to my neighbor, no stolen property charges can be filed, but, if the owner comes forward, with documentation, it would be good to give it back.Found one of these stolen, thrown into my yard. Made an attempt to reunite with the owner, never found him/her. I don't remember the outcome, but no cops. The cops here make absolutely no effort to do anything about stolen bikes other than to periodically auction off the bikes they possess
Stolen bikes make me nervous.... glad it's gone.
