Just taking it seems a lot like stealing to me. I might add that this dilemma has presented itself in other threads in this forum and sparks all kinds of opinions. This was simply mine.

I have a question, like most of the other members I buy
A LOT of flea market bikes for flippin', most all are fixer uppers but some need way less fixing, what happens if one of
these bikes is stolen? I mean like you fix it up, post it, and someone contacts you telling you its their bike! what do you do then? do you ask for proof? like serial number? Police report?
