Cross posting from the stolen bikes thread, but with more positive news this time. We just got our cargo bike back.
It’s still not entirely clear what happened, but the officer in charge of our case said that someone saw it ‘abandoned’ and called the police, and then a team other than the one who was dealing with our case picked it up and took it back to the station.
But they only linked it up to our case when I noticed that the tracker had moved and said it was now in the back of the police station.
So the tracker definitely helped with that, though I hope they’d have linked up the two cases at some point anyway. And it might have helped because maybe our nosing around where the tracker said it was might have caused the thief to dump the bike. Maybe.
Anyway, have got the bike back and it is pretty much as it was when it was stolen, so that’s a win.
And if anyone has one of the Asguard sheds with the two doors where the roof opens like this one: https://www.asgardsss.co.uk/bike-storage-x4 I would strongly strongly strongly recommend not relying on the shed and getting a ground anchor in there and locking your bikes to that.
