Not filed a complaint yet. Got an email from the sergeant (at 1am last night) to say that they are really understaffed which is why they could not go and retrieve it:
Apologies. We did try to action going to look for your bike but at no
point were we able to do this during our shifts. I’d gotten authority
to pay people to stay on after the shift but by coincidence that was
the day that the bike was sold and was no longer available. Had the
bike still been there our intentions where to try and recover it.
Unfortunately we were not able to do this in time.As for what happens now. The short answer is that I’m afraid we won’t
be taking any further action or pursuing this matter. We weren’t
intending to arrest or prosecute the woman selling the bike. If we
could have proven that it was your bike then we would look to have
informed the seller of this and then recovered it. As it’s no longer
there we are not taking any action and the matter is being closed.I found out that the bike was sold after messaging her on the 16th of April to check to see whether the bike was still available. She said that a guy from around her estate bought it.
Have you filed a complaint? Seens pretty negligent...
How do you know they sold it, did the police tell you that? Just because they no longer have it doesn’t mean nothing should be done. Maybe I’m being naive..
