A friend of mine had his bike stolen yesterday and asked me to post a notice on Chainlink. I walked him through the usual steps: police report; Stolen Bike Registry; Swap-o-Rama. I am posting his description below. He believes the bike may be one that showed up on Craigslist. I'm less familiar with steps for recovering a bike from a Craigslist seller than at Swap-o-Rama, so if anyone can remind me or link to postings that offer advice, this would be much appreciated. His description:

2007 Gary Fisher men’s hybrid bicycle 63-65 cm.
Black paint on the back of the frame; after you get to the Silver Gary Fisher logo, the metal turns silver on the top and bottom tubes. 
Custom Parts:
• Custom made heavy back wheel.
• Vittoria Raindonneur back tire, only a month old.
• Planet Bike "comfort spring" seat, a month and a half old. 

Damage – 
• Rubber grip on the right handle deteriorating.
• Gary Fisher head badge has peeled off, to leave a little glue on the steer tube. 
• Low-hanging rear derailleur and adjustment barrel. 
• Rust on the front derailleur and some rust on the month and a half old chain. 
• The headset has rust inside of it and needs to be replaced. You can see that it’s rusted as the top two bolts that open it are rusted.
