Sorry for the crass title, but this story has a rather crass unfolding of events.
About three years ago a 33 year old cyclist called Asif Sindhu got killed by a speeding, unlicensed, uninsured driver. It was near to where I live, a residential street not far from a primary school and kids play ground.
First they let off driver with Just a £950 fine, and banned for two years despite not having a license in the first place.
But I just found out, that later they actually sold the Victims bike which they took for evidence.

Im thinking of trying to contact his sister mentioned in the story, ask her if a ghost bike might be welcomed even if it happened a long while ago now.
