A man, 68, and his wife, 61, were at a park with their granddaughter Saturday when police approached them about the bike the girl was riding, police said.

The couple said the Treck bike was sold to them from a rummage sale at Grace Lutheran Church, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Monday. It is reported the hot item was grouped with several bikes the minister was planning to bless that day.

The bike was recovered after a 40-year-old father told police he saw an elderly couple put his daughter's bike in their car and take off.

When the confused couple was found at the park with their granddaughter riding the bike, police issued them a ticket for theft.
