So given that he has a crime reference number, he had already reported it, after all?
I really don't understand this fully. When you went round, you were happy to give them the ultimatum 'bike or police'. Now, having already reported it, you're shying away from reporting the recovery back to the police? Are you worried that you should have involved them when you went to recover the bike?
Don't get me wrong, Neil, I know perfectly well that in the current climate people often find it necessary to take action without polic involvement, but I'm just wondering how this all works.
