do you not think that this is highly hypocritical when all people seem to do is go 'ooooo look at this one, this looks stolen!' post a link and respond with 'yes very suspicious', and then do nothing about it.
How else are these thieving pikeys going to know that we know their game – Steal a bike, put it on Ebay or Gumtree at a suspiciously low price and think they have evaded us.
And what is it going to achieve letting the thief know that you know?! He pulls the ad, dumps his phone and nicks another one, no trace.
Alternatively, you get onto the police and you email the guy asking to meet up and view the bike before buying. Turn up with the boys in blue, recover bike.
If everyone on here starts emailing the seller asking probing questions, the guy invariably smells a rat, pulls the ad and does a runner.
Pillock.
