Hi guys, I recently (about 2 weeks ago) had my Specialized Langster 2014 stolen from Nottingham city centre, clean bolt cut through my kryptonite lock. I have pictures, frame number, everything from the bike and put it onto stolen-bikes.co.uk with the crime reference number etc - https://stolen-bikes.co.uk/stolen-bikes/specialized-langster-8/
I have been keeping an eye on sales platforms and yesterday found my bike for sale on Gumtree in London Notting Hill, I have contacted the police who asked me to arrange a meet up with the guy in which they would come with me, however, the guy has told me that he's arranged to meet someone on Friday to sell the bike for £340. I even tried offering him £400 (above what he was asking for the bike) and that I could meet him today to grab the bike, but he seems to be loyal to the sale on Friday.
What would you guys recommend in this situation? It's obviously difficult for me being in Nottingham but I'm willing to travel down to London to get my bike back. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
Cheers!
