You were lucky to be confronted by police and not an angry mob of fixie skidders (I realise that doesn't sound that scary! :), d-locks in hand!
That's how I feel about it.
Also that you should be more careful where you get things if you don't want your collar felt by the police!
You can't complain that the original owner was at fault for calling the police, all he knew about you was you had something that was his, that is pretty good reason to get the police involved. Get yourself down to drinks and meet people socially and you'd probably find someone would have a word rather than talking to the police.
