Brother stole his bike back...

[slap-pop-karl]

Last year my little brother had his mountiong bike nicked. Pretty expensive, £1000 worth actually, and his mates bike got nicked to. They found a mixed version of there bikes in the next village and got some of there bits back. Sadly my brother only gotthe frame back. The other day my brother saw his and some some of his mates bike bits on the frame of some guy that we knew but couldnt prove had stolen the bikes, stupiud chav ass mother F**cker must of thought we would forget.

So he nicked it back. Is this in anyway illegal?

I'm a bit worried that the guy will find out and will go trash our motorbikes so I have been telling my brother to go tell the police what he has done and stuff but he wont get them involved. Do you think my brother can get done?

[Cigaro]

Unfortunately yes, it is illegal.

[Mister James]

As above - yes, this is illegal.

You can be found guilty of stealing your own property.

He never. My dad put filler in the wheels when somthing happend with them, cant remember what but he put filler on them. Thye just happen to be every single bit the same to. pedals, forks, brakes, wheels, tyres and my brothres mates shifter. My brother bought the wheels and the tyres sperate. He also got them costom painted white rims, black spokes and a cherry red hub. The boy has a history for stealing stuff like this. He is a chav. Plus one of his two faced mates told us. haha

[DEN MONKEY]

Unless said chav has a documentation of purchasing the bike ( which we know he doesn't) there isn't much he can do.

Chances are he has a police record anyway. So what's the chances of him going to the coppers int he first place or the chances of them believing what he says.

Fuck him

Den. Yup, just worried that some how he will find out and be a dick. Trash our bikes and what not.

[Flip]

You put filler on a £1000 bike? You do realise that your household insurance will prob cover the pushbike and accessories?

[garyd]

why prance around the bush?? get in first and show him what he will get more of if he is proved to have nicked em,have a look at SCUM ,the film with Ray Winston in , thats how you deal with bullys/chavs and the like.

It is normally covered in house insurance. In our policy, if we named the bikes we got fully money back for them, if they weren't named we got up to £300 back. Bit late now

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

OJ simpson got sent to jail for 15 years for nicking back stuff that he claimed had been stolen from him.

Colin - I suspect OJ was more in trouble for the violent/armed aspect of his liberation of those 'stolen' items than the actual theft.

Theft of your own property can still be theft though. You can only be guilty of handling stolen goods if you do so dishonestly, with the belief that goods are stolen. Someone buying those items from Ebay at a reasonable price would have an excellent defence in court against any charges, because they could argue that they had no reason to believe the goods were stolen.
