Could this bike be yours?: http://boulder.craigslist.org/bik/1238666942.html

My reply:

I had the police meet me when I met the seller, and the police found that it was indeed stolen out of Ft. Collins, CO. But it wasn't the one that was shown on your website

Me:

Oh man, wow. Score one for you :) Nice find!
