I'd be inclined to use the insurance money to buy it back |

The police are not really that bothered with solving crimes. Their work is based on stats of successful prosecutions. They know full well that they would only be doing paperwork for no prosecution and no work done that gets them little stars on their records.
They would turn up at the guys house, tell him the information they have about the bike being stolen and how they need to check out the bike and how he came to be in possession of it. The seller then explains how he bought the bike at a car boot sale the other week from a rather nice looking man and woman who even had their kids there. "How bad is that officer? Teaching the youngsters how to sell stolen goods! It's disgraceful. Would you like a description of them?". At this point, the policeman would take the confirmed stolen bike, explaining to the seller that he may well be questioned again, regarding the bike (he wont), back to the station. After a mountain of paperwork, the policeman then has the ballache of dealing with the insurance company, who legally own the bike, but only ever call when he is busy buying a roll from Gregs, or stopping Gareth from throwing stones at trains, from the park, onto the trainlines. If after a month of two-ing and fro-ing, they get their planets aligned, the copper goes to find the bike and loads it into a van, never to see it again.
Hardly seems worth the ensuing bollocks. |

The advert has now gone, so it's probably been sold now and gone forever |

If this bike is so rare and worth so much why didn't you smart water or datatag it (or any other way of marking push bikes)?
At least it would be easy to prove it's yours....... ____________________ My Flickr |
