After Noticing A Stolen $1,760 Bike For Sale, This Man Buys It For $104 And Asks For Twitter’s Help To Locate The Owner

If you’re feeling down today and could use some help with restoring your faith in humanity, there’s a lad from Liverpool who’s got you covered. Recently, the young man who goes by the username @SteBurke44 on Twitter went viral for setting an example on how to be a decent human being. After finding a bike for sale, he quickly realized that it was stolen. The man knew how devastating it would be to lose such an expensive bike which according to him runs for about £1350 ($1,760) so he decided to buy it and then return it to the rightful owner. Once he bought it from the thieves for £80 ($104), he took to Twitter to find the owner. It didn’t take long for the owner to DM him.

The good samaritan had no intention of asking to be reimbursed for the money he paid to retrieve the bike, he was happy just to put a smile on someone’s face.

I also hope he got some info on the jerk that robbed this guys house. Turn it over to the police and let them track him down. Sometimes all it takes is a pic of the guys face.

My thought too, especially after reading this sentence: "As it turned out, the owner of the bike has his house robbed. In addition to the bike, thieves also took his credit cards and passport." Damn. Where's the police? They (I assume there's more than one person involved) need to be stopped

A nice ending to this story, would be for the bike thieves to be locked up with their money confiscated.
