Recently, Sharron Jenson lost her $915 bike to a bike thief

However, she found an ad for the bike on Gumtree just days later and contacted the police

They, however, refused to help due to ‘lack of evidence’ even though Jenson provided the name, address and phone number of the thief

Sharon decided to take matters into her own hands and messaged the ‘seller’ posing as a potential buyer

She identified that the bike was indeed hers and asked for a test ride: “I saw he wasn’t following me and just kept going”

The thief texted her, demanding to bring the bike back and then later called

But laughed and hung up immediately after she said the bike was hers

“No wonder criminals think they can get away with it – because they can”

People had a lot to say about Sharon’s struggles
