Yeah I feel like I'll be less lucky as I don't have any particularly good photos. I bought it on here so I've asked that guy if he has any pics in the hope that some of the marks might match up.
I get the feeling the police will just tell me to jog on if I call them up and say "I think I've found my saddle on eBay but I have no proof".
I'll stick a bid in and see what happens.

The problem I found was that the police (rightly) said that it wasn't up to them to decide if it was mine (that lies with a judge/magistrate/jury), so they couldn't tell eBay to pull the listing. I didn't want to report it, because then it would be lost and my arse would hate me for wasting its pain, so I just bought it (for way over its value, but hey ho). Once I had it, the police still weren't much use at that side of things, although they did arrest some people related and prosecute someone.
If you get it back you may be able to prove its yours, but if you don't have pictures of it elsewhere it will be difficult without it being expensive.
