Well, not really, but now that you're in here...
Interesting event happened to me today. I bought a road bike off craigslist this past march for commuting/getting around town. Bought the bike off a normal dude with a wife and kid who said he got it at the local bike swap a few months before hand. Test rode it and everything checked out, so I bought it.
Fast forward to today. I'm downtown and lock my bike up to grab a bite to eat with some friends. Come outside an hour later and a lady is sitting on the bench next to my bike with her lock now also attached to it. I walk up to my bike thinking "wtf" and when I get close the lady says" Hey, where did you get that bike, that's my bike bike". I explained I bought it off a guy a few months before off of craigslist who said he picked it up at the bike swap. Explained I had no clue it was stolen and that everything seemed legit with the guy I bought it off. The bike has a lot of noticeable marks and scratched that a previous owner would know about, and she explained they happened during a bike crash and that she recognized a small dent on the top tube and other marks she recognized. She had filed a police report last October when it was stolen and had this info in the file, but she didn't have the serial number. So, by the time I walked up to my bike the cops were already on the way. When they got there I explained my story and even showed them my old text's to the guy I bought the bike from from my iphone. They were cool and knew I didn't do anything wrong.
Anyway. the lady claims it's her bike and filed the police report last October. I guess she contacted the shop to get the serial number and she is going to look for it at her house, because they can't technically give her the bike back unless they can 100% identify it as hers. But until then the cops took the bike and if she can match the serial number in in the next day or two she gets it back, and if not I get it back. I told the chick I would sell it back to her for $200 ($50 cheaper than I paid) if she still wanted it.
