Ste’s story started when a thief sold a top-of-the-line bike to him in Liverpool, UK.

Ste instantly knew that the bike was obviously stolen because it was being sold for so little amount, and it also still had a lock attached between the wheel and the frame.

Ste took to Twitter to look for the bike’s owner. He wrote, “Has anyone had their bike stolen? Just bought this for £80 and it’s got a bike lock on it.”

A lot of people retweeted Ste’s post and it eventually reached the owner who showed up with the key to the lock and anything else that proved that he was the owner.
