A mate of a mate was selling he’s R6 blue Reg: EF58 EXC with gold anodized rims from the ruislip / harefield area when someone came for a test ride and stupidly he did not take any details offf the bloke or deposit of any kind and thats the last time he saw he bike…
If anyone happens to see this bike send me a PM
He has already contacted the police
Thanks
Dan
You’re right…stupid!! 
I wouldn’t allow a test ride without holding the correct amount of clams in my hand.

ah lesson learnt i suppose… cant believe he took no money or details though and handed his bike over
so how’s he gonna explain that to the insurance company? lol
I guess some may not even cover you?
But I guess its still theft…
Not technically theft if you give someone the keys! 
He gave the guy keys for a test ride not to keep it.

Let me bore you.
Theft is dishonestly appropriating property belonging to another with the intention to permanently deprive them of it.
Oddly enough, the thief committed the crime the moment he touched the owners bike, yes, before he took it away. Appropriation of property is not the taking away of property, appropriation can be as little touching property belonging to another, which you do not have a right to touch. He committed the offence at this stage because he behaved dishonestly, and he had the intention of permanently depriving the owner of the bike, so merely the touching of the bike is enough to say the crime was committed…of course, proving the crime had been committed at this stage would have been tricky.
Since he has dishonestly appropriated the property and clearly has shown an intention to permanently deprive the owner of the property. It is stealing.
Insurance company may have small print to protect itself from losses where the owner has been negligent, such as leaving the keys in the bike.
