Wow!! That's incredible, the pressure must have got to the thief and they tossed it somewhere it'd be discovered. What an amazing ending, rare nowadays.

I personally know the gentleman who found the stolen rack. He's as honest as they come. He spotted the rack in some blackberry bushes near the Enumclaw fairgrounds about three weeks ago while on his usual dog walking route. He didn't think about taking the rack at the time because he assumed it was something that had been poached and someone had stashed it. After seeing it sitting in the same spot for three weeks he decided to take it home. His son took pictures of the rack and sent them to a few friends in the area who immediately recognized it as the one that had been stolen. Contact was made with the rack owners brother who then came to retrieve it. The finder deserves a ton of credit for what he did and as far as I know he hasn't received a call from the owner of the rack nor has he received a reward that was offered. Hopefully he gets some token of appreciation especially considering that he could have sold that rack for a pretty penny to someone outside the area.

That is amazing, same spot for three weeks.  Not doubting the story at all just saying that is crazy.  Good on your friend for doing the right thing.  I hope he gets an atta boy from the owner.

Tell him I think he is a solid dude all day long.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

Hmmmm.
Not sure this passes the smell test.

I have never walked past a horn on the ground that I would not pick up, given it was legal. If I was concerned and saw a rack like that in blackberry bushes I am picking it up and calling fish and game. If nobody claims it, I hope they give it to me. 

That's just me though.


Why sell it outside of the area if he didn't know it was stolen?
