Cant beleive it!
police phoned today to say they got the van and have recovered my bike and another.
they said there wasnt any damage on the report but we will see.
they have arrested the guys and are keeping my bike for forensics.
i gave such a vague discription of the van so maybe the other bike had a tracker.
anyway, good news and i will see what damage it has.
well done to the police…see guys, sometimes it works out
Fantastic news, Kempo, I’m very pleased to hear this. Be good to hear how they found the bikes.
If it was indeed a tracker that led to their discovery then all owners of “nickable” bikes on this site should take careful note, and possibly start negotiations for a LB group discount on tracker devices and the ongoing charges.
Or perhaps we should start up a tracker scheme of our own? There are plenty of IT- savvy people on this site.
Excellent! Kind of get the impression the met have bigger fish to fry than arresting bike thieves - so hearing that they got your bike back and made some arrests is really encouraging.
Hope the bike thieving turds get something custodial.
Congrats mate! Nice to hear they nicked the scumbags as well! Good result all round!
Also, if they’re going to the trouble of forensics it more than likely means theyre going to try and throw the book at them, as it’s a very expensive process!
