READER REPORT: Dumped-and-likely-stolen green bicycle

The photo is from a reader, who explains: “This bike has been in the bushes where 35th meets Marine View Drive, just north of Seola Park.” Recognize it? Let us know.

    Was super hopeful this was mine until I saw the pic. My green Trek bike was stolen from my complex’s “secured” garage within the past couple weeks. It’s a slightly darker green than this with a mustard yellow water bottle holder.

    If you’d like , you can search the serial number on bikeindex.org. If  it was reported as stolen,  there might be a prompt to contact the owner (similar to how you contact a seller on craigslist) . Someone left a wheel-less late-model mountain bike in front of my son’s school this summer, and I was able to find the owner and contact them within a few minutes, and return their bike the same day.  Their bike had been stolen from Capitol Hill in November, and they never expected to see it again. It made their day, and mine.

Sorry, comment time is over.
