Recovery notes

Good news -- I recovered my bike!! My girlfriend pushed me to take a leap of faith and check the Ashland Swap-O-Rama, where I found it and wrangled it back from an individual who claimed to have bought it from someone else earlier that day. I was being eyeballed and couldn't wait for police, so I demonstrated proof and simply took it back. Unreal. I don't know how I'm so lucky.
