"Bike thief arrested, was carrying a .357"

Here's a great reason not to try and recover a stolen bike on your own.

See: Bike thief arrested, was carrying a .357:

UPDATE: I found my stolen bike posted on Craigslist. I reported it to the LAPD. They set up a sting. A week later, I’m picking up my bike at the LAPD Property Dept. Amazing. The seller was arrested. He was armed with a 357. If you ever see your bike on Craigslist, don’t even think of getting it yourself.

Yikes. If you find your bike on Craigslist, folks, call the cops.
