Oh wow this is all turning very interesting

It's actually turning into a bit of a nightmare!

I guess it is for you yeah but you're doing the right thing mate. Maybe we can have a whip round, get you a Raleigh Activator

Just thought I'd better point out that it was me who listed it on ebay. I have withdrawn it from sale and contacted smallrider about it. I bought it from a shop in Blackpool so hopefully this will get sorted without me being out of pocket!

Hi,

I would be interested in an update about this, have the Police been involved yet? Perhaps a chance to get thieves and people who handle stolen bikes to court? I better add that is no reflection on anyone here who have got caught up in this.

The police have been informed as I did not want grumpy old man in any trouble whatsoever and they are coming to see me this weekend, hopefully they will investigate more, who knows I may even find the other bike that was stolen at the same time.

 

[TGR]

Be nice to the Police and try and ensure they take some positive action. You need to sure you want the matter pursued and make yourself amenable to attending court - should they decide to investigate.

 

[GrumpyOldMan]

TGR, your interest in this is appreciated but don't forget there are two victims in this. I paid hard earned money to a shop for this bike which I potentially might not get back. Be patient and let us get on with it and we/I will update as and when possible.

Ian.

HI - I understand what you mean - but there could be three victims - the shop owner may be out money too. I will be patient and if you wish to PM me with a result that would be fine.

Well this morning I got my bike delivered to me by the police who are now doing investigations after nearly 3 weeks! it is in somewhat worse condition few paint chip and small dink in the frame etc but I am so pleased to get it back.

I would like to thank Grumpy old man,who seems to be not that grumpy at all considering I would also like to thank richardinstall for first spotting the bike and posting on the forum, also anyone else who has posted on this saga.

Now I want cash converters " the shop where he bought it" to try and keep thier name clean by giving grumpy old man his money back they need to keep a better list of stolen goods.

c'mon cash converters pay up
