I tried to report one of the more obvious gumtree thieves earlier on today via the Met's "non-emergency" line. (I'm keeping an eye on gumtree in case my stolen bike turns up there). They hung up on me. No word of a lie.
Fortunately I have a mate in CID, so I've dropped them a message to find out if there's anyone I can speak to directly who might actually be interested.
