Are you sure it wasn't stolen? People will steal anything these days.

No luck involved, it is meant to protect the bike (not you) from break downs.

My wife gave me mine. If I catch anyone trying to steal it, bad luck will come down on them so fast they'll think it's The Apocalypse.

I don't think anyone really believes a gremlin bell has any effect. It's just one of those traditions that started from someone who wanted to make a few bucks. It caught on. Just like greetings cards did.
