    Saw this advert in Gumtree in the Derby area, maybe other areas too ..
    http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/wanted-top-of-the-range-mountain-bike-cash-waiting-nationwide/1001862521

    It looks a bit suspicious especially considering whats wanted and the prices and quantities etc

    Or am I being sceptical?

    A quick go on Google translate, from plain English into ‘Dodgy Bastard-speak’ came back with this:

    Have you just nicked a high end mountain bike? Then give me a call! Cash on the nail, no questions asked!

    This came up last night, someone suggested it was a lure to trap the thieving bastids.

    I hope it is!

    Or it’s a means of getting the addresses of people with high end bikes

    Addresses was my first thought; I wouldn’t trust it.
