Nice, a GT Performer in yellow; would be cool if it's someone on here that had it stolen so that they can get it back  :daumenhoch:

What do they do with them if they don't get claimed?

Some forces sell stuff on through bumble bee auction site
Had a bargain or two off there myself

Hopefully the owner will see this and get it back

how come the GT is posed like it's being put in for BOTM? (i.e. in a garden, propped up on invisible pint glass?)

I think the whole thing is a con & they're just trying to lure you in and get your details - don't fall for it or they'll be in your shed next  :D

My guess is that some of the pics have been given to the police by the owners of the bikes when they got nicked, to help ID them if they were recovered.  You can sort of tell which bikes the rozzers have as they have a background that looks like a grotty garage - the others have various different backgrounds.   :-\

but if that's the case.. then the owners would have had their bikes returned and there would be no need to put out an appeal to find the owners..?

There's a couple of pics which are def taken by the owners not :police:

Glass half full I thought perhaps those were owners whose contract details had changed etc

I see what you mean.   :daumenhoch:  A lot of bikes have been stolen from the area but not every one has been recovered.  The recovered ones are the ones in the grotty garage and the unrecovered ones are the BOTM GT, the bike on the train, the bike at the bottom of someone's staircase etc.

That's my take it on it anyway.   :D

Mmmm very interesting.

The GT Performer (pic 18) is definitely my bike and the picture that I took of it many years ago in the garden but it is definitely not stolen as it is safely tucked away  :daumenhoch: (although I did go double check  ;D )

Very strange  :shocked:
