Bicycle Stories reported last week about a belt-driven Trek bicycle stolen from Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium last Thursday.
CBE owner Brian Eckman told me today the bicycle has been recovered:
"Concerning the stolen bike from CBE, it was actually recovered last Thursday night.
"A pretty shady person who we believe to be the thief came to the shop at closing, asking about a reward for the bike, and said he saw one chained up at the Chuck E Cheese almost directly across the street. Sure enough, serial number matched and we got 'er back. Still not 100% sure who took it but all's well that ends well."

Glad to see that pretty bike made it home safe...
That sure was nice of the shady scumbag to give it back because it was a cheap Taiwan junker that rode like crap. Wonder who he was?
It sounds to me like they didn't want to pay the reward so they infer the good Samaritan is the thief looking to cash in on his crime. If the finder of the bike is truly not the thief, I would suggest a good lawyer and a legit payoff. If you are the thief... I hope a karma hits you when your riding wrong-way on Dale Mabry at night with no lights...
