Such an amazing story about Chainlinkers finding stolen chainlinkers bikes and a little faith and good will!

I'm sure I'm not the first person who's heard this...

A friend told me that his friend actually found his own stolen bike on Chicago Ave (near the Red Line, near that McDonald's) locked to a bike rack. (Lucky SOB, huh?)

The owner took his own U-lock and locked his bike (again) to the bike rack, then went and got a cutter himself and cut the thief's lock loose. I thought that was pretty nifty! Great way to make use of a bike lock, if you happen to have a spare one on you! (Of course, this depends on the thief not getting there first and cutting off your lock).

Do tell! We could use a good recovery story.
