Yeh Seeds - the first time I saw it was when it was being sold - propped up on the curb - down in Brick Lane. Think I must've done a double-take on it that was a bit too obvious cos by the time I'd ducked down an alley to call the police he'd scarpered.
It was after that that I found it chained to the railings.
And I have kept the frame number, but cos it's tagged with a chip and has a code sprayed on the frame, didn't bother to bring it with me. Thought they'd be enough, but when the police came down, they didn't have a scanner for the chip, and they couldn't get through on the phone number.
So, with those two times, and then this last occasion on Gumtree, it's been three times that I've found it and lost it again since it was stolen.
Which very strangely has made me feel slightly better than just having it nicked the once.
