the suspense is killing me. any news? was there a gunfight? a high speed chase?

yeah, what had happen?

Come on!.....We wanna know....

it is like a brazilian soap opera!

Ben, I know you're online.....what happened?!!

Bike now safely in my flat until Jack gets back from America.

Ended up buying it from him for £50, though he said he at first he bought it of a tramp for £80, that's why he wanted £80 for it. Lying little toe-rag. Unfortunately when I finally met him with the bike (5th time) I couldn't get hold of anyone local to get a posse.

However, went to the Police in the morning and told them the story, and said
"can we have an officer accompany us to get the bike back?" Police "no - we'll arrest him for possesion of stolen property" Which would have been great, except Jack was pissed and was flying to America the next day so the muppet didn't report it stolen. So the police couldn't do anything, cause there wasn't a crime to solve! Which was bloody annoying.

So. Moral of the story - Always report your bike stolen asap, even if you don't have insurance.

Oh, and it's the younger guy who works in Bobby's Superstore on Homerton Rd

More drama than a doing a full series of 24 in one shot

Great work

nice one ben. allways good to hear about a bike coming back.

damn good work ben.

Now go back and get your £50 back. Does his employer know he's a thief?

Cheers - anyone want an orange track bike £80? ;-)

glorious thread

as i suggested to max and rob, should go back and ask for money back. if not, maybe ask how much the front window is worth?!?

How about an unoffical trolley dash at Bobby's Superstore on Saturday?

Good work Ben..
