Good to see this kind of thing.

I've a couple of thoughts though; assuming the guy's bike was insured, wouldn't it now belong to the insurer? And what about the honest guy's £180? If I had been the victim I'd have squared him up for that and even a bit extra for his efforts and honesty.

I suppose if your bike gets stolen you can console yourself with the thought that someone else will be getting a bargain - every cloud has a silver lining eh?
