I had my garage burgled and my prophet 2 stolen out from it 3 weeks ago. I duly claimed insurance and received a cheque on Saturday. However, the police recovered the bike on Friday.
The bike isn't in the condition I left it. The front suspension has had all the decals rubbed off and makes a funny sound when I push it down. The back suspension feels dead. They've swapped out avid juicy 3 rotors for hope rotors and generally put a whole load of stolen parts on it.
I heard from them today and first they offered to sell it me for salvage. I told them I wasn't sure about this because I didn't want to sell stolen property.
They then said they were going to stop the cheque and have asked me to get a quote to replace the stolen parts.
Should they be paying for the damage too? As well as the damage to the suspension, I'm concerned that it's been used for purposes that it's not fit for and perhaps the frame has been weakened.
Does anyone know if I can claim for this too?
