Yeah Hackney Police are very helpful, my mate who got his bike stolen that I mentioned above thought he maybe found it for sale in Hackney on guntree. It was stolen in Oxford so he phoned the police there, they basically said forget about it just get insurance next time and don't think about trying to meet up with them if you value your legs. He arranged to meet them anyway, I suggested he phoned the Hackney police who arranged to have plain clothed police patrolling the area and gave him a number and code to call and they would be there imediately. Unfortunately the guy never turned up with the bike and the phone number has never worked since, he thinks they got spooked by gumtree as he reported it to them on the advice of the Oxford Police.
