it’s back!
Over and over it seems true that not until you truly give up on something that it can become possible. Case in point: i’d given up trolling craigslist and looking at every bike on the street, now that it’s 3.5 weeks after the mountain bike was stolen, when i get a call while at my new job last night that someone had it. Apparently they saw a sketchy guy with a nice bike outside of HCMC and after some negotiation bought it for $25, knowing that it was likely stolen. He found my stolen bike post on craigslist and called, and now it’s back in my garage, apparently only missing the anchor bolt on the rear derailer. Unbelievable, and bottomless thanks to fellow cyclocross racer Matt for the recovery and for finding my post.
whew.

But the crook was ultimately rewarded, no?
Hard to say if the crook was rewarded. One guy did get $25, but who knows how many hands the bike went through in 3+ weeks? (it would be interesting to know, actually)
> Oh, and: new job??
i’m wrenching part-time at HC :-)
Great news–bike & job! :)
Congrats!! It’s great when things like that work out.
