Anyone has their Pista nicked?

Apologies if this has already come up but i texted the guy and it didn't seem quite right to me, he described it as a 'medium' and selling it for his brother. I didn't ask if he had a receipt or not as i'd already made my mind up.

It could be dodgy or may not...

defo a nicked bike. ive always wanted to arrange a sting for one of these fucks.

that's so nicked it's not true

does anyone know of anywhere we can report sus ads like this to the old bill?

yes, the nearest police station. thing is, you'd need more than ' it looks dodgy' to go on

that's what I thought. It's shame really as this bloke will most likely be making a fair bit of cash for being a robbing bastard (assuming it is a dodgy as it seems).

I had my Pista nicked though it was in 2003.

Although it seems like this chap is getting one over on the owner of the bike; he is only condemming himself. He will always be broke, unemployable and in and out of HMP.

Pray for these people.................than go 'round there with billy the bat and brake his knees!

I believe that's what is known as a 'deal-clincher' in marketing textbooks...

"and back brake to pedal backwards"

that's not right, surely...arrest him!

I wish someone would help us... I wish...

Don't call me Shirley!

" my wheels are alexrims and i have straight handlebars."

I'd say the unique selling point is the fact it's a talking bike... that's also able to post ads on the internet. Clever stuff.

it has a HAL 2000 unit built into the head tube

The bike has a name: Ben : 07983 080 075

there is a way to use Cell ID to track the location of the mobile they are using - but you have to get to open a spoofed SMS first - kind of illegal but can find them to a radius of about 10 metres - why doesn' everyone just spam him with hate text using a free Web SMS service...

maybe call him up, go and see it, then say ' that's my fucking bike, you cunt' and se how he reacts

I had my cannondale road bike stolen 2 months ago (I lent it to my flatmate who had it nicked for me from his work!) looked on gumtree on Monday and sure e-nuf there it was, no pic, and the kind of sketchy description you would expect 'after using this bike for over a year as a courier' - yeah right what courier would be seen dead on an R500? apparently the bike is of no use to him anymore LOL so I arranged to meet him in the arse end of north shoreditch, and sure enough when I turned up it was the very bike - The pond life selling it looked a bit sheepish when I turned up with 3 of my mates and produced a printout with a pic and detailed description down to a scratch on the chainstay and a rip in the bar tape! I told him give it back or there will be trouble either painful or legal, and he gave it straight back - result!

That's how it's done Mobidog. Well done.
