Jennifer, I'm not even going to expose myself to any type of liability with any suggestions on how to handle a situation if one should come across someone's stolen bike.

I can only provide the information and way to contact the rightful owner. And to tell you the truth, I'm not sure how I would handle it if I did find myself in that situation.

I'll just leave it up everyones best judgement as to how to handle it.

So I'm just thinking: it was cool for Philip to snatch my Schwinn from the thief in Hemming Plaza, but what's the best thing to do if you encounter a stolen bike? Call JSO? Follow the thief until they arrive? Is it okay in this instance to physically knock the person over (this is always what I imagine doing, but I doubt it's either legal or a good idea to act with physical violence when only a possession is at stake)...I'll be on the lookout. Check Hemming Plaza!

Thanks for the help in advance everyone!
