Another Craigslist seller popped

Another day, another guy on Craigslist selling stolenbike:

A 17-year-old gang member in San Rafael was arrested after trying to resell stolen bicycles on craigslist, police said Wednesday.

The bicycles, a $2,000 road bike and a $500 mountain bike, were stolen from an unlocked garage off Fifth Avenue in the Sun Valley area, said San Rafael police Sgt. Jim Correa.

When the victim saw the same bikes for sale at craigslist.com, police set up a sting. Officers ... posing as a married couple, arranged to meet the seller at his home.

The suspect came to the door with the $2,000 bike, and was arrested, Correa said. The other bike was also recovered.

The suspect lives within half a mile of the victim.
