The thread was removed yesterday, has there been a resolution yet?

You had to be about yesterday to know what this is about.

Sold to 'bidder 3' – wonder if that was tails?

No bombers?

Hi not good out come at the mo. If anyone is very internet savvy let me know.

Police ballsed up the meet apparently

Didn't they just, and they wonder why normal folk don't like them.

Twunts – almost as bad as the basterd that knicked it – formal complaint to the IPCC.

I was nearly right about the old bill then…. 🙄

FFS.

As I know you all like a bit of gossip

"We set up meeting to buy it cash and they turned up. The police didn’t even chase them . we ended up giving chase and lost them. The car was seen driven an hour later in the area the bike was stolen/suspected to be."

As the auction ended early my bid was never placed. I'm thinking but am currently stumped for ideas.

man that sucks!
Can't you some how get there address' ie from numberplates-ebay-paypal via police?
(sorry prob obvious suggestions)

Cant believe the cops did nothing, idiots!

ffs indeed

oh dear. For once I thought this was going to have a positive outcome. 😥

How did you persuade the police to come out anyway- thought they weren't interested in acting on stuff like this?

Can't say i'm suprised they fudged it up.
Personally I would never have involved the police, rather just turned up en masse, with a bat. Depending upon his attitude, the bat may or may not have been used.
Was in a similar situation about 10 years ago. Had a motorcross bike knicked. Managed to find who had it, just went round with about 15 lads. Said we can do this easy or hard. The lad didn't even think about it. It was all very civilised in the end and I think he learned a valuable lesson too.

You'd have to ask jedi thats just what he emailed me. I'm bit stumped on ways to track the guy.

possibly contact people who bought from him in the past see if they know the gentleman ?

lord thats top idea.

tails – whats your email address ?

Can't ebay help?

Stolen Property

The sale of stolen property is strictly forbidden on eBay, and breaches UK, Irish and international law. eBay strongly supports law enforcement efforts to recover stolen property that is listed on its web site, and urges the prosecution of those responsible for knowingly attempting to sell such items on eBay. Stolen property includes items taken from private individuals, as well as property taken without authorisation from companies or governments.

If you see an item on eBay that you believe is stolen, your best course is to contact law enforcement immediately. Under eBay's privacy rules, our lawyers will provide important records about pending and past listings with an official request from law enforcement officials. Please inform the police officer handling the case that eBay will be pleased to cooperate in the investigation, and ask the officer to contact eBay via the Law Enforcement area in the Safety Centre. It is important that these methods of contact be reserved for law enforcement use only, as it enables us to respond quickly in case of emergencies. Emails/faxes directed to these areas that are not from law enforcement will be routed to the appropriate mailbox or individual accordingly and may cause delays in response time.

If you are concerned that your images, text, or HTML in your item description have been used by another eBay user without your authorisation, please read the Copyright Basics Help. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been breached by an eBay auction, read 'Helping to Protect Intellectual Property' for more information.

then again…

might be wrong but i think if you bid on an item you can request contact details from ebay , hope it helps

keyses2 – you have mail.

Tails YGM

Did anyone get a numberplate ?

Surely the bloke who was selling it has his name and address registered with Ebay
The winning bidder should be able to request it, he must either be the thief or know who it is

Fingers crossed

we got pics and everything even thought the police at baldock **** up. we tracked him down tonight and called the police. no demo9 yet but i got him!
he's in nick now . i dont care if i dont get the bike as much as i know i found the man who thought he could nick from me and get away!

ill keep lookin for you.

Ah missed this. Reading through all the above- I get the jist. Let us know how you get on..

no bike still, they got one of the 2 in the car so far.
the intel i got together has blown the police away

Glad to hear it is looking more promising, but it would have been more satisfying with a bat… 😀

>the intel i got together has blown the police away

If it's not giving too much away how did you manage to get so much stuff together in a short space of time ?
