Stolen Bike - Update!
generallee:
Bloody Hell Del, I had no idea youd had bikes nicked - and then fund this one again! Thats totally and utterly out of order that the bloke who now has it wont consider selling it back to you. If I bought a bike that was then irrefutably a nicked one, Id never for a moment not consider either giving back or at tleast getting my money back and selling to the rightful owner. As for the police, they owe you big time mate, if its been logged as stolen, a case was opened, then they sold what they should have been 'looking' for, then they may owe you the small amount they got for it... but perhaps dont hold your breath.
hope it all turns out ok mate.

Feck Del Iv just read all this, there are a few things you could do..
1 Win it on ebay then give the bill to the (useless cnuts) sorry Police
2 Inform ebay when it goes on there that it is your bike & so its stolen property
3 get hold of the Police & ask them what the feck they are playing at & what they are going to do to put it right
4 Go to the press, in fact do this anyway, this should help there claim for a pay rise
BTW Del, I would be happy to send you £10 to get your bike back.

Del, you need to get this sorted straight away with the police. Pester them four or fives times a day until you get an answer. Get advice from the Citizen's Advice Bureau too.
I wouldn't go down the path of buying it on eBay then trying to claim your money back, as you'll probably lose out and it may cost you a small fortune. If it does reach eBay and to avoid it getting moved on to someone else, report it to eBay straightaway as the seller is selling stolen goods. That way eBay should pull it straightaway and at least you'll still know where it is.
If the legal way doesn't work, then send a few of the lads round to "collect it" for you. At the end of the day, you can't get nicked for taking what is yours. This guy would have to claim against the Police to get his money back as it would be nothing to do with you.
Also a word of advice for everyone here. It would be a good idea to get pictures of all your rides. I know most of you do anyway, to show them on here. But if you could get also get yourself in the pics, then that is better proof that it is your property.
Good luck with it all Del. :daumenhoch:
