Twitter user @SteBurke44 is out here restoring people's faith in humanity. It turns out that a bike he'd purchased off someone had been stolen, and was actually worth $1800. As luck would have it, he was contacted by the original owner of the bike and able to get it back to him. It's moments like these that remind us there are still good people out there just trying to help keep the world's fits of chaos relatively manageable.

    Text - Ste Burke @SteBurke44 Has anyone had their bike stolen? Just bought this for £80 and it's got a bike lock on it. Apparently it's from the Crosby area. Bought it so I can get it to back to the right owner. I know it's a £1350 bike and id be heartbroken if it was me. Give us a shout
