A friend who was in a simialar situation once went with a £20 Nokia burner phone becuae she knew the seller would want to ask for something before letting her go on a test ride, so she gave the seller her burner phone and rode off...
Personally, I did something extremely stupid and potentially dangerous some years ago after my bike got stolen, I conforted the guys, it was 2 of us and about 6 of them, I just grabbed the bike back, which could have ended really badly...
OK, they were just kids from the estate round the corner, but still, it could have ended really badly, but when the police arrived, I asked them if they wanted to see any proof of purchase as it was bought brand new, they told me no if I say the bike is mine than the bike is mine...
