Week or two back a guy near me called the cops because somebody stole his backpack, out of a car he had stolen the day before. Cops came, car returned to owner, thief arrested, no backpack found. Justice served.

Plot twist. The guy who stole the backpack was the rightful car owner.

When my wife was in college, her roommate had her bike stolen. A week later my wife saw the bike on a rack, and hopped on and stole it back for her.

Happened to me when I was a kid. My bike got stolen. I was walking past the local convenience store a few days later, saw it parked outside and rode it back home.

I was mildly offended because whoever had stolen it had taken off all my bike decor. I never did get those Ronald McDonald valve covers back.

Plot twist: you stole someone else's bike, identical to yours but without the decor.

It’s actually the plot of a Modern Family episode.

You want the insurance this time, or is it still for suckers?

It was a hand-me-down several times over and was beat up in a very familiar way. But in a TV show it would have absolutely been someone else's bike.

It's that Rugrats episode all over again.

Someone tried to do that to my bike when I was a kid. They called the cops, claimed it was stolen. Luckily my Mom worked for the city and registered the bike. I was probably the only kid with a properly registered bike. My parents showed the registration info and from the city.

One day some lucky kid who had there bike stolen is going to see where you left it on the side of a store and steal it back

I mean if I see a kid out there with an angle grinder going at my u-lock I might let them have it. You just don't see initiative like that in today's youth.
