Well, Gumtree in Kent does a better job of finding bikes than the police!! Fond an ad with no picture, scant details describing my Condor, call the police who say you have to see the bike to identify it is yours before we send anyone out, phone 'John' who placed the ad who agreed to see me, said I wanted a bike for my son's birthday, John was quite obliging, I coughed up £140, got my bike back sans rear rack, have now learned an expensive lesson, lock it up ALWAYS no matter where you are and use a good lock. Won't make the same mistake twice.
Also learned that gumtree seems to have separate sites for different areas. John posted the ad 5 days ago and I just found it this morning.
