A Grimsby man (no, not him) got his bikes back after posts on Facebook. Obviously local newspaper takes the credit...

Grimsby Telegraph's story

A woman in Lincoln had seen it on Facebook and contacted her daughters who live on Nunsthorpe. They knew where the motorbikes were and she got her boyfriend to fetch them...

Good news, chuffed for him. The bike looks very well loved and cared for, obviously his pride and joy. No mention of the thieving toerags being nicked though Sad

I'm guessing if bikes just returned no actual real take to court evidence. Although I also suspect people with some local knowledge would be able to have an educated guess who the toe-rags were and where they lived.

Cheeky sods! Especially when it happened like this:

"A woman in Lincoln had seen it on Facebook and contacted her daughters who live on Nunsthorpe. They knew where the motorbikes were and she got her boyfriend to fetch them and bring them to me. It is absolutely brilliant."
