I must say that sounds like odd behaviour from a police officer. Most don't seem to have the time to clear their workload but this one wants to take time out to chase, and then visit you for a set of mudguards. I'd ignore the emails unless there's any talk of (well) defined criminal charges and contact the station sergeant to ask why this officer has time to chase a set of mudguards but not to update a crn with details that could lead to recovery of 5k worth of property. That said, I do see more value in @PhilDAS response :-)
Either way, it sounds like insult to injury - must be very frustrating for you.

ok so having done this, warned the cops I was going to free my bike etc -- I'm now getting multiple phone calls and emails from 1 police officer saying that I need to pay for the lock and the mudguards that the owner had installed from his own pocket. He's relented and said that I can ignore the cost of the lock cause it's the only way I could get my own bike back. But keeps emailing me about these fucking mudguards. They are pieces of shit that I'm going to bin but I think it's outrages that approx 5k worth of bikes were stolen, the police didn't even bother to put in the crime file the serial numbers and pictures, they didn't bother when I called them and told them I had phone numbers of drug dealers who had my bikes (2 out of the 4), didn't bother coming round when I had found this bike (3rd out of the 4) ... and yet I've now got 3 emails and 3 phone calls about the mudguards where he keeps offering to come pick them up.
