Recovery notes

Update 10/3/2010 According to regular flea market attendee he spotted this bike at a south side flea market around June 2010, remembered seeing it on this site, alerted the owner, and she was able to arrive quiekly and get her bike back. Leaving admins wondering how many other victims don't let us know when their bikes have been recovered . . .
