Cyclist got back stolen bike, leaves cardboard cut-out and snarky note for thief
 

Payback! Moment cyclist who had bike stolen steals it back and leaves behind a cardboard cut-out and snarky note for the thief

Nicely done! (although I wonder if they caught the thief... hope so)

I'm sure that will discourage the thief from doing that again :rolleyes:

It's not necessarily the bikethief who was using the bike and had locked it there. It may have been an innocent who had unknowingly bought a stolen bike.
If the whole thing went through due process then they would have had to hand the bike back anyhow - but without their lock being ruined.

Anyhow - I so hope it was the thief and that they were really annoyed.

That was merely a speedbump for the thief...Now if they would've cought the thief it would've been classic...

Or it's a clever way of going around stealing bikes right in front of people.
