It's a good example of what an ad for a nicked bike looks like anyway.
Yep. The formula is obvious.

Well done getting it back, and nice to hear something positive about the police. Must admit I'd have been tempted to win the auction and turn up to collect it with some mates to help give him some negative feedback. A friend of mine found his stolen Epiphany on Ebay a few years back and plod didn't want to know as the insurance had already paid out, insurance company didn't care either.
(no, we were too tight/scared to drive 200 miles to find out we hadn't brought enough mates)
I think your PS3 is long gone (140300885598) but hope they try!
200miles to me says the bike was probably fenced on so the seller might not be as 'bad' as you think.
Plus you say that however you'd probably go absolutely bonkers if you found/confronted the actual lad who broke in. So probably best not. When its highly personal even mild-mannered folk can go absolutely insane/mental.

When I was about 15 my beloved Raleigh Tuff Burner (blue with yellow mags) got nicked. I quickly heard who had it (small town) and bunked off of school for a week before finally finding the wee scrote playing video games down the seafront, my bike parked outside. I went slightly mental before dragging him a mile across town by his hair to the police station - very satisfying! The police warned me about roughing him up then slapped his wrists and called his mum.
I then heard how his sisters boyfriend (local face, bodybuilder type) was looking for me and spent the next week sh!tting myself. He eventually caught up with me and congratulated me - result!

Glad to hear it. If you want added protection for your bike, get it registered on bikerevolution.org It's free.
