At college, someone stole my bike.
I saw it parked at the Library three days later, and stole it back.
All I could do was bust out laughing, because WTF!?
Someone stole my lawnmower once. The engine was distinctive and I heard it down the street. I confronted the guy who was a “door to door” lawn mower (local bum) and he said that he bought it from two kids. I said, we can always wait for the police so that you can explain how you came into possession of stolen property and he handed it over.
