I said this:called the police, telling them I was going to forcibly remove the bike, and that it would not be good to be seen 'rolling around in the dirt arguing' about the bike outside his work. This got the police's interest and I thought they would respond quickly.
Plus intimated that violence might occur (without actually saying I was going to start an affray). If they think there is a chance of a proper arrest for a serious/violent crime, they tend to get there quickly. They turned up within five minutes.
