Bike Recoveries

I found the bike on Facebook and went to view. I informed the police beforehand and they weren't interested, in fact I'm still waiting for them to call me back.

Apparently handed in last sept and Police kindly contacted me earlier this month to collect it. Delighted!

I saw a kid on my bike. I hold my bike and told him GET OFF! While he was getting off I show him the picture of my bike ! He then realised that was my bike! He told me a random guy sold it to him ! I then reply « go see that guy and tell him to give you your money back! Then I left…

Contacted by someone who knew the people who had taken my bike.

Someone found it in the city and handed in a police station.

K Wasiluk informed me the stolen bike posted in Gumtree. Great THANKS!!! Then I contacted Met Police to get back my Son's bike in a second hand shop.

Bike found an ownership traced via the Bike Register

A neighbour spotted the bike outside the local Budgens so we retrieved it. The British Transport Police have been sent the details that we have of the person who was in possession of my sons bike

I was contacted by Dave via BikeRegister. He lives on the same road as me and had found the frame (minus wheels and accessories) outside his neighbour's house. He initially thought it had belonged to them but that they were getting rid of it (i.e. had left outside for anyone interested to take). After discovering that it was not theirs he checked on BikeRegister where he discovered the bike had been stolen. He contacted the police who said they no longer dealt with bike thefts. He then contacted BikeRegister in order to get a message (email) through to me (although said the process was not straight forward). Very glad of his perseverance with the matter.

I did a lot of research on the seller of my bike (found on Facebook Market Place). Found name, number, address, motorbike registration and all social media pages. Sent this all to the police and they recovered my bike for me.

I found the bike at the start of January 2022 in the garden of 45 Mount Street, Aberdeen. It was still locked, the rear wheel was damaged but I retrieved it, got it repaired and use it again.
