CDC42 Posted July 21, 2020 Share I found this Cannondale on the FB marketplace with cryptically little written about it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1337450769777748/in case anyone is on the lookout for this bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyrax Posted July 21, 2020 Share Maybe he is a guy with few words. It looks like he is moving and might just want to get rid of the bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Steer Posted July 22, 2020 Share Just wondering what the ad has that would suggest it was stolenYeah... same here, just looks like an advert where the seller put in little effort. As is the case with 70% of adverts Rowl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted July 22, 2020 Share We should thank the OP for posting this.Even though it may not be a stolen item, getting flagged here as potentially stolen helps keep extra eyes on the market and could help in tracking down genuinely stolen items down the line. porqui, Andrew Steer, tinmug and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted July 22, 2020 Share First sign of a scam or stolen bike is normally a "too-good-to-be-true" price. This looks more like a seller that bought a bike as part of an auction / storage locker setup or took as part trade against debt owed. The bike rack on the bike also makes it seem less likely to be stolen unless both were taken together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted July 22, 2020 Share Thanks to the OP. IF the bike is stolen, these threads gets more eyes out there, and may just help to get it back to its owner. If it is not stolen, well the add got a LOT more traffic, and his chances of getting a buyer drastically increased .... win-win. how to "decide" if an add may be of a stolen item ... uhm ja, between a second language and typing skills (well the lack thereof) most adds could be considered "dodgy" .... but hey, sometimes one just get that weird feeling .... and after the many stolen posts over the last few days it is easy to over compensate Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A post like this raises suspicion and has the potential to totally ruin a sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
