>Cant belive the cheeky sods listed it on ebay for a 1-day auction and raised the princely sum of £600 (did a previous listed items search)
People on here were bidding on it attempting to "win"
Smiled when I saw the thread title this morning & keep doing so since - happy for yer result 😀
its about not laying down.
they took what was mine. i was never brought up to let bullies get away with it. nor to give up
Totally agree. I don't understand 'the insurance paid out so I'll move on' attitude.

Amen to that brother.
Graet to hear good news storys like this one, it must be a huge relief and what a buzz!
There is no fate but what we make!
Nice one.

Racist!
Nice one jedi.
Only just seen this from a twitter entry, but well done! Good story as well. What's the bike by the way? Someone called it ugly so I'll probably like it!
The Pinkster - MemberGreat idea, but I wouldn't mind betting someone somewhere would be jumping up and down about it "breaching their human rights".

Hope you have put the seat down [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SPECIALIZED-NO-SWAPS_W0QQitemZ320466974043QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Bikes_GL?hash=item4a9d51f55b ]see here[/url] 😉
Top news.
I once got my GF's bike back after she had it stolen, I won't recount story though as not half as good as yours!
Well just make it up then you silly bugger 😉
Great to hear bike is back. Hopefully the thief will get locked up ...unfortunately most likely a bit of soft "community service"....he should be made to dig a new bike trail!!
have you left appropriate "this seller is a thieving scumbag" feedback in his ebay profile 😕
there's a few ebay seller names they go by
excellent news!
cheers the full story is on the new page[url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/2010/01/the-saga-of-jedis-stolen-bike-happy-ending/ ]http://www.singletrackworld.com/2010/01/the-saga-of-jedis-stolen-bike-happy-ending/[/url]
So now the dust has settled...
By all accounts these "gentlemen" were professional thieves, so did they just happen to stumble across your car containing the bike (without giving your location away this seems unlikely) or do you think they were actively roaming the neighbourhood?
It's clear now they were not using the forum otherwise they'd have kept up to date with your investigations..
Living nearby from you I'd be interested to know if anyone has any idea how precise their targeting was as obviously your detective work may well have saved my own pride and joy from the same fate 😯
the guy who had his yeti stolen the day before mine (still not recovered) lives 1 mile from herts shore and rides to hertford (sele) to visit his mum loads. i have never met the old boy but have seen him many times. conincednce?
also a house in my road has had building work done(finished now) that took weeks. i got vibes since then that things were not right.....
Read the story on STW yesterday. Sounds like someone should make a film out of it, what with the police blunders and car chases!
i still cant get the image of the barn owl hunting along the a1 in full snow at night out of my head. it was beautiful.
the police have asked me to assist in future bike crimes 🙂
have just read this.i'm glad that you got your bike back.i f***ing hate bike theiving scum.hope they have soap on a rope. 😈
its the way they record stolen bikes. just colour and make. needs to change
Has nobody told them about this new invention called Spray paint 😳
