Stolen bikes

Yes Jessiclees as Oliver says do post about your stolen bike here with as much detail as possible on the bike and the theft and do contact Cycle Task Force, do a search for their details. However, if you then see your stolen bike being advertised on gumtree or eBay while looking for it don't post on this thread saying something like:

OMG hav just seen my stolen bike on gumtree n heres the link xxxxxxxx am gonna call the seller now and arrange to meet them wiv my brother and all his mates and a baseball bat...

Because this will very probably alert the thief that you now know where your stolen bike is. They pull the ad. You don't get any closer to your bike. Unfortunately this sort of thing has already happened a few times here. M'kay.
