Good news...of sorts

[TheArchitect]

Just had a call from Kent Police, they found my stolen GSXR (the second one, stolen from the City) in a warehouse in North Kent.

According to them, they implemented a search warrant and uncovered approx 30 bikes, some intact, some in pieces and some in the process of being stripped down. This was a well organised operation they were running which the police described as a "slaughterhouse" for bikes. They also found palettes containing parts which appeared to be prepared for shipping.

My bike was one of the few with the plate and vin still present/legible so they were able to get hold of me straight away.

They've arrested 8 scrotes who are now on bail. I was asked if I'd be willing to give evidence to CPS if needed, to which I gladly accepted.

Ownership of the bike is with the insurance now, so I won't be seeing it. But glad the scum and their little enterprise has taken a knock, however little that may be.

That's good news.
I wonder if the scum will ask if the can pay their £200 fine in instalments?

I think I saw that on the news. So does it make any difference to you now that it's been found, or do the insurance company just recover some of their payout?

I hope someone picks it up soon, since it'll be racking up storage fees the longer Dibble have it.
