I got my stolen bike back!!

My girlfriend and I were going back home around 10:00pm via subway from downtown, and along the way back home a tweeker looking guy with his tweeker girlfriend get on the train and Chelsea (my girl) turns and looks at him and instantly tells me that he’s on my bike!  My heart starts pumping full of adrenaline and I wait patiently for him to get off (which he does at the next stop) and I follow him out.  I quickly go up to him and tell him that it’s my bike and I prove it by telling him that the sticker on the forks is the same design on the sweatshirt (franchise logo) I happened to be wearing.  I tell him I’ll pay him whatever the amount he paid for it.  We figure things out and I buy it back for 60 bucks.  His name is Sparky and he took my number because he wants the shitty 5’’ bars that replaced my chrome slam bars. We all walk up together and he has another BMX bike locked up in the subway station.  It was a shitty old General Lee.  That was the only thing changed on my bike!! Unreal!!!  So lesson learned, lock your bike up with a good U-lock and never give up on getting your stolen bike back.
