Stolen bikes

thing is, I got it second hand and have no idea of the serial number, dumb mistake I know! another thing I learned the hard way

actually I passed the same place today and I spoke to the owner, I saw the bike again and if I did try get it back it would be so hard trying to prove to the police its mine because he's changed so much, the major things to tell it was mine are gone, like red cables, odd stem bolts, none stock stuff basicly, but its all replaced! he even has the tires i want...

i think the dude was bull shitting to me but i really cant do anything about it :'(

shit.

edit:

just been looking through some pictures and way more sure its mine, there is quite a lot of chips in the paint, if i took those pictures to the police, think they could do something about it? i'm only a small dude who cant fight, if i just try and take it id probably get battered to be honest

get in contact with the person you bought it off

scratches seems a of bit hard sell for police to grab a guys bike.
