Damn. Good luck, Octomagneto! With his combination of superpowers and
the fact that the frame is ferrous, he should have it back soon enough.
I've had four stolen and 'retrieved' two of them years afterwards.

How were you able to get them back after years had passed?

It was quite simple really. Both cases were rather similar.
I rode up and said, "Pardon me, Sir, but I couldn't help but noticing
that you're riding my bicycle."
To which both gentlemen replied, "Oh dear. Quite sorry. Here, please
take it. Terribly sorry for the inconvenience. Might I buy you some
lunch?"
"Oh, that's quite all right old chap. No harm done, really. I
appreciate both the gesture and the obvious care you took in the
upkeep."
"Not at all, not at all. It was a pleasure to have borrowed her these
past couple years."
"Yes. Well then, I'll be off."
"Right. I suppose I'd better start walking then. It was fine meeting
you."
"You too, Sir. Cheerio!"

See, people are quite reasonable when you speak to them with a British
affectation.

Isn't "British affectation" a tad redundant?

ITYF you misspelled 'affection' - and it's not so much redundant, as in
certain cases, conciously withheld ',;~}~
