    "About a week after it was stolen, a pawn shop called the cops. When the bike was brought in, they ran the serial number in the bike registry and it returned stolen. They bought it from the dude, got his ID, and then gave me the bike and had the court pay them back. Just remembered to mark it recovered just in case it's stolen again."
