pro sport Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Sorry to hear about your hassle with the Police not responding. I would have thought that you would have been well within your rights ( providing you had a logged crime number with the police ) to have actually bid and won your own bike on the action. You could have then informed the police to then intervene whilst awaiting collection & payment arrangements, the bike would then have been returned to you once your ownership was confirmed.

bilks Posted November 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 (edited) The bike wasn't advertised on a auction site,first Every time its been on Facebook, it was for sale,2nd time up for swaps for a road bike only,and last time,for sale,on Facebook Also on Gumtree with E Mail address only,tried sending mail,got no reply started at £800 then dropped to £500 eventually sold for £400 well that's the last seller told the police,and he didn't know who he sold it too,or where they came from.Had Crime no from original theft.and another 1 given me.In fact the first person who was selling it even put the chassis no in his advert. I wish it would have been on a auction site.then i would have done as you suggested. Edited November 16, 2013 by bilks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalley250 Posted November 16, 2013 Report Share Posted November 16, 2013 I had a similar issue with police not responding to help me. I then rang back and gave them the address i and a group of mates was going to armed with baseball bats etc, only to get a immediate response. Police are not interested in thieft in my experience of 5 bikes taken over the years. Hope you get em back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
