After Having His Bike Stolen, 'The Peddler' Is Fighting Bike Theft While Wearing a Mask

I know 2019 is still young, but this has the potential to be the coolest story of the year, if you ask me.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, THE PEDDLER.

This anonymous man decided to fight crime (specifically bike theft) in London, England, after his own bike was stolen. He wears a mask and a helmet and is returning stolen bikes from online sellers and cruising the streets to make sure bikes are securely locked up and registered online.

A man shared a story about having his bike stolen in London and later getting a text message from a mystery person who said they had his bike and would return it to him after they arranged a meeting.

Lo and behold, the man known as The Peddler (still in disguise) returned the man’s bike – he had seen it on a website where the thief had put it up for sale. The Peddler said, “I cross-indexed the bikeindex.org and Gumtree (the website where it was for sale) and got the same matching description of a bike.” The crimefighter told the thief he could either give him the bike or he’d call the cops on him.

The Peddler even answered questions online from curious and impressed citizens.
