Bike Found!!

[headlamp]

Just thought I'd let you know that after almost 18 months my bike has now re-surfaced! I got a call from the International Squad at Scotland Yard to say that my bike has been found - in Vilnius, Lithuania!

The kind policeman started talking to me about recovery and getting 'my' bike back but I reminded him that I got paid out by the insurance company for the bike - however if my helmet, pannier, gloves and cover were still with the bike can they send them back please as they weren't part of the insurance settlement. He took me seriously and would 'make enquiries' to see if they were recovered with the bike!

These Eastern European types, they come over here, steal our jobs, our women and now our bikes! What is the world coming to!

How the hell did they get them through customs with no paper work?

Customs, 5 kilo's of tabacco and 10 crates of beer, arrest you for that, nicked some-ones bike and car, no paper work for them, not a problem, drive on through

There was something on TV news the other day about tractors going the same way so if they can't spot a tractor, bikes are going to be pretty easy.

Do you know what?

People criticise our police force etc etc, but it is nice to know even outside of our country they are still aware of something like this. I'd be mighty chuffed if my stolen bike was found in a far away land, cause a lot of people in Lithuania would probably turn a blind eye.

That's pretty cool, you should try and get it back just to see what state it's in, try and buy it off the insurance company! Cheap hack if ever I saw one.

Have they by any chance found the other two vehicles and stuff nicked from the house?

Hi mate, I`v just read the whole of your other thread and i`m reall glad you`v got your stuff sorted.

Would it be out of the question to ride her back? I assume she`s still in one peice?

I don`t quite know how far lithuania is away, but if you and a mate could get a ine way flight there, it would take more that a couple of light days riding.

Dunno how docs/borders/insurance would work...

Stu, if you read the original thread, the car was recovered with items in the boot and the discovery was being chopped up with various Mercs.

how cool is that tho, in a weird way, wonder how many miles its done? are you going to get it back?
