My cousin stole her car back. The "new owner" called the cops on her, my cousin had her police report and paperwork on the car. The new owner and the original thief went to jail instead.
My bike that me and my dad had driven up to Belfast to buy, which I had cycled for over six years got stolen a month after I brought it up to Dublin. I had been living here for two years so I thought I was pretty street smart. I always parked it under a CCTV camera at work. A month or so of me happily cycling around the city and some utter bastard stole it. I got back late and had to go to the nearest Garda station. I reported everything. However making my way home later I saw the bastard cycling my bike. I nearly caught him and murdered him but he cycled away. While I was looking for it, I met a mechanic who tried to help and long story short we. recently moved in together. I miss my bike but at your lowest point good things can happen. (I may even thank the thief for introducing me to my soulmate if I see him again but I will castrate him afterwards)
Exactly. My partner often says he is glad that my bike got stolen because he had been trying to figure out a way to ask for my number and talk to me when I had asked him to fix my bike before. Although he is clear that he will throw the thief into the Liffey after expressing this. But he ended up building me a kick-ass bicycle after two months of dating. He also bought me a heavy duty lock😂. Really like your videos, if you are ever in Dublin I am a bona fide city guide and we'll give you a tour. Bike thefts are on the rise here in Dublin city so a story like this is a great thing to hear.
I love this story. I remember you posting on Twitter when you found it and didn't know what to do, and I was so rooting for you!! Moral of the story is to always befriend people with metal grinders, they'll always be there for you.
When me and my friend were 7, her bike got stolen. Cute-ass little bike with a Winny the Pooh bell and everything. Of course us being the little smarty pants detectives that we were, we went looking for this thing. Lowe and behold: we actually found it in someone's jard, whent and got her granddad and he straightup walkes over to it, slings it on to his shoulder and we all walk off in to the sunset. it was amazing. i seriously remember feeling like such an utter badass :P
I think you're gonna love this story I have. Back when my uncle was a kid here in Spain (so, Franco's dictatorship? Very much a thing), he got his bike stolen. He went to my grandfather, who was a moderately famous sports commentator (in fact, my father doesn't sign with his real last name cause they get them confused, what with them having the same name). My grandfather was furious and he complained to the super they had. The man told him he hadn't seen anything at all. So, my grandpa takes my uncle up to the police station to describe the bike. The cops take my uncle's description but they don't care too much when the sergeant recognizes my grandpa and says "You're Miguel Ors!" My grandpa says that yes, he is indeed himself. The officer answers by saying "We'll solve this immediately!" So my grandpa, my uncle and a cop hop into a police car and start driving around the neighborhood. At one point, the cop saw a bike and asked my uncle if it was his bike. My uncle was about seven or eight years old and he must've mumbled a "yes". The cop hops off the car, sees tha bike has a padlock, he goes back to the car, gets a set of steel cutters, gets rid of the lock and hands my uncle a bike. To this day, no one is sure if my uncle actually got his bike back, but hey, he got one back :D
there is a speacial place in hell for people who steal bikes! (not meaning people who steal their own bikes back to, of course.) something similar happened to me when i was a kid. i had painted my bike neon pink & green (yeah, i was that kid) and i left my bike locked in front of my friends house in a quiet neighborhood for like hour or two, and someone stole it. about a month later me and my friend saw my bike (it was definitely my bike, no one else had a bike with a crappy neon colored paint job). luckily it only had a very crappy lock that we just twisted until it snapped and that's how i stole my bike back.
yes!!!! always steal back your bike! I'm so glad you got yours back. I see a bunch of tires just locked up to posts here in brooklyn, so I assume most people just never get justice.
You have incredible friends, lol. That was supremely certified badassery what your friend did to rescue your bike. She totally wins at life. Great story with a happy ending, kudos!
This makes me so happy! I know the feeling. Some asshat stole my beloved beach cruiser when I was in Junior High. We suspected a neighborhood kid but couldn't prove it. Your story somehow makes me feel a tiny bit better about that bitter loss from way back when. Ride on, friend. RIDE ON!
"...hey that's my bike and I'll be like, the fuck it is." 🤣 That was awesome ✊. I did see the Instagram post of your friend doing you a solid. She absolutely looked bad-ass. Glad you did this vid. 👏👏👏 🚲
Idk how it is in NYC, but lots of places you can actually register your bike with the city, so if it gets stolen you have legal documentation. There's also this thing called the National Bike Registry that you may want to check out! ;)
That is great you got your bike back! I lost my bike when I was working summer school. It was a pimped out bike with cushion seat. I parked it inside the gates of the front entrance. I had a shinny long chain and I layered it. Someone actually clipped it before I went to lunch which is under 3 hours and rode off. The chain was on the floor, clean cut. Bike stealers has no sympathy from me.
Ahhh YES this is amazing! I saw the videos when you stole it back but I missed the initial part of the story so I'm really glad you told the whole thing in one spot. So badass. I'm super glad you got it back! I can't believe they left your lock on it.
ah so satisfying, well done, so badass 💪 this is for all of us who never got the revenge hah. when I as a teenager got given the coolest bike ever, all our bikes (5) got stolen from the shed in our backyard a few weeks later. it still hurts hah, but this video almost makes up for it ;)
this is amazing! I lost my bike last thanksgiving while grocery shopping, apparently they managed to bust the lock. I'm so glad for you it made me feel so good lmao
Yo, I have a similar story to this but with my iPod. Back in 2011, in my Junior year of high school, I had this iPod that was my pride and joy and that I just gotten for my 16th birthday. That might not seem like a huge extravagant gift, but to me it was everything. I was in science class and it was finals week, the teacher asked us put all of our electronics phones iPods everything into this basket before the final starts. After the final, she tells everyone to come up and collect their items, the problem with that is it didn't have everyone's name on it and she did not hand out each item by itself. So I'm the last one to collect my iPod and it's gone.I was so angry at the teacher that she let this happen and I knew who took it. A kid a week before complained that his iPod was stolen and I knew it had to be him. So I track down this kid I fucking search him make him take off his shoes and everything. Turns out he handed the iPod to a friend to hold when you saw me coming. And of course next thing I do is go see the dean of students (Best motherfucking dean of the school). I told him my iPad was stolen and I know for a fact who took it. So he called his kid in to his office with me in there and searches him. Lo and behold he had my fucking iPod. This motherfucker kept saying it was his, so the teacher asked the name of a song on the iPod. I went to a very diverse school this kid was obviously a kid who did not listen to heavy-metal. He played a Pantera song and he asked the name of the band. And he said something like Green Day, and then he asked me the name of the band I said it was obviously Pantera. The iPod was bloody purple covered in rainbow stickers that said gay pride all over it. That kid got suspended for the week and that teacher had gotten a lot of trouble too. She's a shitty teacher anyways. Little victories are the best kind of victories.
Akilah Obviously couldn't have ended better. Funny thing is I ended up sending that iPod to my stepsister, who lived in Cape Verde at the time, as a birthday gift. She still uses it.
I love everything about this!! There's also that great story a while back about a girl whose bike was stolen and then she saw someone trying to sell it on craigslist a few days later so she contacted them to meet up about buying it and then when she was pretending to test ride it she just rode off with it completely.
Watching this whole thing pan out in real time of social media from stolen to found had been one of my favorite things this year. AND you got a fly ass bathroom out of it so I mean sometimes you get rewarded after a struggle right? 🛁
So appropriate that Jay-Z & Kanye chorus #Brooklyn... Mec had a pep in her STEP when she was walking...like she's been waiting to do something like this...she looked like she humming Who Gon' Stop Me 🖕🏾
Helllll yeah!!! I had a bike stolen a few years ago and a co-worker got it back for me when he saw some guy riding it who wasn't aware he had purchased a stolen bike from a flea market.
Ah-mazing story! I'd be so heartbroken if my bike was stolen so I have a backup bike. I don't want the backup stolen either. Too many problems in the world. Great video! 💖
So here's my fun bike story: It was hard rubbish week (IDK if you guys have this? But basically it's when you can put your broken furniture or whatever out on the kerb and council workers will come around and pick it up and take it to the tip) and out the front of my neighbour's house I spotted a pretty fancy looking racing bike in the middle of a pile of old pool hose and broken fence pailings and whatnot. Never one to turn down anything free, I wheel the bike into my yard and my boyfriend and I check it out. Aside from being covered in dust and the rubber on the handlebars being perished it's in perfect working condition. So we put my broken bike I never rode anyway out the front where the racing bike had been and I've been happily riding my new racing bike since. I even went out and bought some pink and green spoke beads for it because I never had them on my bike when I was a kid and I'm still bitter. Fun fact, we looked up the model of bike and found out that it retails for $1100 new. Who throws out an $1100 bike?
this exact same thing happened to my best friend!! his bike was stolen from outside of the building we lived in, then he spotted it locked outside of the library at our school and stole it back. he didn't have a buddy w a grinder tho, so he had to go through school security, the police, and then finally, someone from the local bike shop came by. apparently the person who had stolen the bike sold it to the same bike shop the dude was from, and had been bought by the person who had it locked up at the library. pretty sure they were refunded and all was well, but then we moved and it got stolen AGAIN lmao. montreal is terrible for bike theft tho
Well done! A bike is a sacred piece of transportation technology! DO NOT STEAL! I had a similar (recurring) problem when I was a kid, from a family of cleptocyclists. My family had 5 bikes stolen by the same family, who lived in one of those corner lot houses where you can see the whole yard from the public right of way, and they'd just leave dozens of bikes in their yard, probably trying to sell them. After we saw what we suspected was my bike (it was super generic, so we couldn't be sure) we started marking our bikes with random numbers and putting identifying features on them, like neon stripes and the like. As much as I would like to say we stole them back, alas, we simply got the police involved and the people ended up getting arrested for their thievery, which had been an ongoing problem, and was only given solid enough evidence by our documentation of our homemade serial numbers. Never had another bike stolen in that neighborhood after that, either.
My cousin stole her car back. The "new owner" called the cops on her, my cousin had her police report and paperwork on the car. The new owner and the original thief went to jail instead.
hahahahaah that's the best ending ever.
Oonagh72 I love it.
Now THAT is quite decent, lol
Oonagh72 that was sooo satisfying to read. hurrah for your cousin.
I can't believe they tried to report a stolen car stolen omg but I'm glad she got her car back!
holy shit that scene of your friend walking up the street with a fuckin metal grinder? the most badass shit i've seen all day i love it
It's so legit.
wthDamnGuy that looked like some shit from The Warriors.
YASSS YOU ARE THE BEST!
For some reason she reminded me of a comic book super hero. Super cool and badass!!
Akilah Obviously do you guys just stroke each others egos all day while punching "nazi's" or do you just steal bikes?
My bike that me and my dad had driven up to Belfast to buy, which I had cycled for over six years got stolen a month after I brought it up to Dublin.

A month or so of me happily cycling around the city and some utter bastard stole it. I got back late and had to go to the nearest Garda station. I reported everything. However making my way home later I saw the bastard cycling my bike. I nearly caught him and murdered him but he cycled away. While I was looking for it, I met a mechanic who tried to help and long story short we. recently moved in together. I miss my bike but at your lowest point good things can happen. (I may even thank the thief for introducing me to my soulmate if I see him again but I will castrate him afterwards)
hey! I didn't find love but I got my bike so I think we both won.
Exactly. My partner often says he is glad that my bike got stolen because he had been trying to figure out a way to ask for my number and talk to me when I had asked him to fix my bike before. Although he is clear that he will throw the thief into the Liffey after expressing this. But he ended up building me a kick-ass bicycle after two months of dating. He also bought me a heavy duty lock😂. Really like your videos, if you are ever in Dublin I am a bona fide city guide and we'll give you a tour. Bike thefts are on the rise here in Dublin city so a story like this is a great thing to hear.
I love this story. I remember you posting on Twitter when you found it and didn't know what to do, and I was so rooting for you!! Moral of the story is to always befriend people with metal grinders, they'll always be there for you.
This is true.
You friend came with style and skill .That was so epic.
Was she wearing a British cop hat in the video? She was like you gonna learn today
yes!!!
That's real gangsta!
Steal your shit back that is truly the Brooklyn way
I need it on a shirt.
When me and my friend were 7, her bike got stolen. Cute-ass little bike with a Winny the Pooh bell and everything.
Of course us being the little smarty pants detectives that we were, we went looking for this thing.
Lowe and behold: we actually found it in someone's jard, whent and got her granddad and he straightup walkes over to it, slings it on to his shoulder and we all walk off in to the sunset. it was amazing. i seriously remember feeling like such an utter badass :P
It's like that fist pump end screen in The Breakfast Club. Like, we only get so many wins in life that are this epic hahaha
I learned that when someone steals your bike, you just steal it back.
YES!
I think you're gonna love this story I have. Back when my uncle was a kid here in Spain (so, Franco's dictatorship? Very much a thing), he got his bike stolen. He went to my grandfather, who was a moderately famous sports commentator (in fact, my father doesn't sign with his real last name cause they get them confused, what with them having the same name).

hahahahahaah someone's bike is better than no bike i suppose.
Moral of the story, landlords and supers in Brooklyn are garbage.
that's the gospel truth.
"That's my bike!" "TF it is!" ❤❤❤❤
True, how does she know she didn't just steal someones bike
I love that no one stopped to question people walking down the street with a metal grinder cutting bike locks. Haha
This was cathartic for me as a person with my favorite pen stolen and not given back after confrontation.
omg have you seen that episode of community where Annie's pen gets stolen? it's SO GOOD--and maybe will be cathartic for you.
there is a speacial place in hell for people who steal bikes! (not meaning people who steal their own bikes back to, of course.) something similar happened to me when i was a kid. i had painted my bike neon pink & green (yeah, i was that kid) and i left my bike locked in front of my friends house in a quiet neighborhood for like hour or two, and someone stole it. about a month later me and my friend saw my bike (it was definitely my bike, no one else had a bike with a crappy neon colored paint job). luckily it only had a very crappy lock that we just twisted until it snapped and that's how i stole my bike back.
yes!!!! always steal back your bike! I'm so glad you got yours back. I see a bunch of tires just locked up to posts here in brooklyn, so I assume most people just never get justice.
Akilah Obviously I was in NYC for the first time last week and saw so many abandoned bike tires in Brooklyn! I'm glad yours didn't suffer that fate!
You have incredible friends, lol. That was supremely certified badassery what your friend did to rescue your bike. She totally wins at life. Great story with a happy ending, kudos!
she's the real MVP
The Jay--Otis-Redding edit on there is everything 👀
Wow Mec is a real one
she is the realest.
"Guess I stole my what? back -- BIKE" still makes sense and I like it almost as much
I was so happy for you when I saw you break your bike out on instagram lol. I kept checking to see what was going to happen. Epic af.
Adrienne Mitchell same
This makes me so happy! I know the feeling. Some asshat stole my beloved beach cruiser when I was in Junior High. We suspected a neighborhood kid but couldn't prove it. Your story somehow makes me feel a tiny bit better about that bitter loss from way back when. Ride on, friend. RIDE ON!
"...hey that's my bike and I'll be like, the fuck it is." 🤣
That was awesome ✊. I did see the Instagram post of your friend doing you a solid. She absolutely looked bad-ass. Glad you did this vid. 👏👏👏 🚲
"The f*ck it is".....i died laughing your too funny :)
Hahaha 😂😂
Stranger: "that's my bikeeeee"
A: "the f it is... peace motherlover"
literally best storytime ever
Right?! And it wasn't even clickbait!!
Great story, I love a happy ending. Revenge never tasted so sweet, huh?
oh it was beautiful.
This story was very satisfying
Idk how it is in NYC, but lots of places you can actually register your bike with the city, so if it gets stolen you have legal documentation. There's also this thing called the National Bike Registry that you may want to check out! ;)
I remember when you were posting about this on instagram. Omg I'm glad we got the whole story. "That's my bike!" "The fuck it is!" Ahahaha I love it
Hell yeah! Friends help friends steal their bike back. Take back what's rightfully yours. Win!
two of our broken lawnmowers were stolen from our backyard last week. lmao thanks for removing the garbage
Iconic, glad you got your bike back
That is great you got your bike back! I lost my bike when I was working summer school. It was a pimped out bike with cushion seat. I parked it inside the gates of the front entrance. I had a shinny long chain and I layered it. Someone actually clipped it before I went to lunch which is under 3 hours and rode off. The chain was on the floor, clean cut.

I am SO happy for you. Nobody would ever hear the end of it if my bike was stolen, so I'm with you all the way on that xD
You did what all of us had wanted to do at some point! Well done.
U and ur lil bike omg too precious
LMAO 😂 I feel you, I'm glad you got your bike back! The superintendent of your building probably sold it to that person!!!!! Sneaky Snake 🐍
Mec is badass.
If I wrote comic books, she'd be the starring character. She's also an accomplished song writer so like, she's basically the best ever.
ah so satisfying, well done, so badass 💪 this is for all of us who never got the revenge hah. when I as a teenager got given the coolest bike ever, all our bikes (5) got stolen from the shed in our backyard a few weeks later. it still hurts hah, but this video almost makes up for it ;)

I'm so glad for you it made me feel so good lmao
Whooooohooo so cool!! Your friend is the best and sooo badass :D Congrats on getting/stealing your bike back :)
you're really brave in the first place buying a bike that already tried to kill your homegirl

omg what a little shit. I'm so glad you got it back, and honestly, having a music knowledge off is a pretty cinematic ending, too.
Akilah Obviously couldn't have ended better. Funny thing is I ended up sending that iPod to my stepsister, who lived in Cape Verde at the time, as a birthday gift. She still uses it.

Haha you're so chill! Love it glad you got your bike back.
Right? I don't think I've ever felt so vindicated in my life.
Hey akila!!!! You live in Brooklyn?! That's so cool!!! I love your videos!!
Thanks for brightening up my day! I enjoyed this immensely!
That shot of your friend with the metal grinder......I'm in love.....
this is the most uplifting story of justice I LOVE IT
it's raining JUSTICE!
i usually hate "storytime" videos but that was great
Loved thisssssss 💕 Your apartment looks beautiful! Can't wait for the tour 💕
Way. To. Go. I can't believe you even found it!
Mec is the realest friend. Always keep those friends around
I was following this story on your Instagram and I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU. What are the odds?
So so slim.
Loved seeing this on Insta, and re-living it again here. Vigilante justice! 🙌🏾🚴🏾♀️🎯
lmao 😂 i had my bike stolen and my brother stole it back.
Yes!!!!
Literally the only storytime I'd watch.
this is the best story. this makes me feel less bitter about my stolen bike... and gives me hope.
Watching this whole thing pan out in real time of social media from stolen to found had been one of my favorite things this year. AND you got a fly ass bathroom out of it so I mean sometimes you get rewarded after a struggle right? 🛁
It's true. The struggle was never realer, but in the end we got a happy ending.
Dope Video! Glad you got your bike back, F*** those thieves, You Rock! (found you from Casey Neistat Black Panther video) 👍
Akilah is the coolest bamf out there
s q u a d
This was LIFE! I enjoyed every second of this lol!
Great story :) Loved the part about the grinder lol
I would have stayed near by just to see his or her face when the bike was nowehere to be seen. hahahaha!
Mec looked like such a boss.
This post was friendship goals tbh
So appropriate that Jay-Z & Kanye chorus #Brooklyn...
Mec had a pep in her STEP when she was walking...like she's been waiting to do something like this...she looked like she humming Who Gon' Stop Me 🖕🏾
Helllll yeah!!! I had a bike stolen a few years ago and a co-worker got it back for me when he saw some guy riding it who wasn't aware he had purchased a stolen bike from a flea market.
*Turns off likes and dislikes because she can't handle the heat*
This is everything
Straight gansta!! Love it😍😍
Ah-mazing story! I'd be so heartbroken if my bike was stolen so I have a backup bike. I don't want the backup stolen either. Too many problems in the world. Great video! 💖
This just made my day better.
Your amazing story reinforces the importance of drinking at brunch.
So here's my fun bike story: It was hard rubbish week (IDK if you guys have this? But basically it's when you can put your broken furniture or whatever out on the kerb and council workers will come around and pick it up and take it to the tip) and out the front of my neighbour's house I spotted a pretty fancy looking racing bike in the middle of a pile of old pool hose and broken fence pailings and whatnot. Never one to turn down anything free, I wheel the bike into my yard and my boyfriend and I check it out. Aside from being covered in dust and the rubber on the handlebars being perished it's in perfect working condition. So we put my broken bike I never rode anyway out the front where the racing bike had been and I've been happily riding my new racing bike since. I even went out and bought some pink and green spoke beads for it because I never had them on my bike when I was a kid and I'm still bitter.
Fun fact, we looked up the model of bike and found out that it retails for $1100 new. Who throws out an $1100 bike?
You need a sitcom. That story was awesome.
I am for ALL of this!! Great job ladies!
this video was life
i know dark green is your fave but you look great in pink!
That's a win for all of us I think. A win we really needed.
Mec needs her own movie, hot damn.
That might be one of the best stories ever. Your friend with the grinder is badass.
I want to show this to my twelve-year-old self after she got her bike stolen.
truly iconic!!!!!!! omg hhahaha
I feel this story on a personal level.
Also your friend is fucking awesome.
I have long suspected that you are the coolest person in the United States, possibly the world. This confirms it. Also, thank you for the work you do.
This is fantastic. They knew they were wrong, that's why they abandoned it.
You tell the best stories. Also, that grinder was totally badass.
this exact same thing happened to my best friend!! his bike was stolen from outside of the building we lived in, then he spotted it locked outside of the library at our school and stole it back. he didn't have a buddy w a grinder tho, so he had to go through school security, the police, and then finally, someone from the local bike shop came by. apparently the person who had stolen the bike sold it to the same bike shop the dude was from, and had been bought by the person who had it locked up at the library. pretty sure they were refunded and all was well, but then we moved and it got stolen AGAIN lmao. montreal is terrible for bike theft tho
What a great feeling ✨✨✨✨
You and your friend is amazing omg 😂
Well done! A bike is a sacred piece of transportation technology! DO NOT STEAL!
I had a similar (recurring) problem when I was a kid, from a family of cleptocyclists. My family had 5 bikes stolen by the same family, who lived in one of those corner lot houses where you can see the whole yard from the public right of way, and they'd just leave dozens of bikes in their yard, probably trying to sell them.

Never had another bike stolen in that neighborhood after that, either.
😂😂😂😂 this is great!!
Damn. That was badass.
I haven't even watched yet, but good for you!!!!!!! Fight the system!!!!!
This is the BEST THING EVER
Your friend is a goddamn rock star
That bike seat looks like some balls lmao. I love you.
Ain't nobody fucking with Akilah in this streets.
p.s. Your friend is badass
Hahah, locks were beginning to pile onto that bike.
Right? They could have just unscrewed the other one. They had the bike for a month! Like, what a waste!
Now that is what I call taking revenge/back what is yours like a boss
