A man in Scotland named John Devlin was on his way home from work recently, when he saw a man who was struggling with a bike. He stopped and asked the guy if he needed help. Something was wrong with the handlebars, so John started working on it.
That's when he noticed something strange. There were some stickers on the bike that looked familiar, and then he realized: It was HIS BIKE.
John confronted the other guy, and the thief TOOK OFF. He was eventually caught and charged with burglary . . . as well as having a knife without reason, which is apparently a no-no in Scotland.
This seems like a crazy coincidence . . . and it is . . . but even crazier, John didn't know that his bike had even been stolen.
He kept it in a shed at his home, and his wife noticed that the lock was broken . . . but she didn't get a chance to tell him before he "found" his bike.
