*Recovered* Bianchi Volpe

What happened

Locked to rack in laundry room at 8:00 pm, gone by morning. On 11/7/2021 the victim wrote: Your site was the reason I got my bike back. Approximately 3 months after the theft, which occurred on my birthday, our hero, M.U. was walking down Birchwood, between Sheridan and Greenview, at 7:00 a.m., and he found the bike wrecked and abandoned on the sidewalk, a usb cord tangled in the front wheel’s spokes. He recognized that it was a valuable bike, so he was immediately suspicious that it had been stolen. He made mention, and somebody steered him to your site. He fixed up the damage, called me, and I went to his place and got the bike. The thief removed the two water bottle cages, the toe clips, some reflectors, and also a few stickers. The bike remains otherwise in excellent shape. THANK YOU AGAIN! Not only did I get back my touring bike upon which I rode across Cuba and love very much, but M.U. gave me a reason for a rare occasion to not be utterly disgusted with humanity.
