The Bicycle Thief: A Community's Quest for Justice

Whatever you do, don't give up.
When Rupert's cherished bicycle is swiped from his work garage, he's not just losing a mode of transport; he's losing a piece of his daily life. Enter an ex-cop with a passion for tracking down stolen bikes and a group of dedicated bike enthusiasts. Together, they form an unlikely alliance determined to recover Rupert's bike and put a dent in local bike crime.
This episode of 'Days Like These' dives into the world of community-driven justice, where persistence and teamwork become the ultimate tools against theft. Brad Kellis, the brain behind Bike Vault, shares his expertise on identifying and reclaiming stolen bikes, emphasizing the deep emotional ties we have with our possessions. This isn't just a tale about a bike; it's a story about how far people will go to stand up for one another and fight for what's right.
Tune in to hear how Rupert and his new friends turn a frustrating loss into a powerful mission of community solidarity.
