  • @BCarley Initially my mate tried dealing with the police after a promising few conversations and email exchanges but ultimately went nowhere. Another friend took it upon himself to message on fb and arranged a meet up in Peckham outside a pub. A group of us sat separately with drinks outside, spotted the guy turning up with the ritchey and a mate on a bike half an hour early checking out the meet up spot, it suddenly all felt very dodgy. Rang the police explaining the situation but they couldn't say whether they would come... The seller tried to get our friend to meet down an alley, but he played ignorance in the area. In the end he felt safe to approach the guy outside the pub, who thankfully turned up by himself. He asked to feel the weight of the bike then told the guy that it was stolen, that the police where on their way and a table full of his mates sitting right there. The guy turned and left immediately. Bike retrieved minus a few parts. Police turned up 45 mins later lol
