Stolen bikes

I think the police may have fucked up masively though- the guy (evidenced by a google search of his phone number) is handling a lot of stolen bikes and probably part of quite a big operation, as the bike was stolen in Balham and sold in Bethnal Green.
When we were giving our statements, I asked if he'd be held overnight so the Cycle Task Force could deal with him tomorrow, and se he couldn't get in touch with anyone to let them know he'd been caught. The constable said "yeah, yeah" then turned to his colleague and said "you'd better seize his phone innit".
Aidan got on *his *phone and guess what? Gumtree ad had been taken down. The kid had been left in a cell on his own with his mobile, so had presumably contacted his paardners in crahme, who could have dismantled quite a large operation quite quickly I'd imagine.

Just read that. Did the seller ask to meet you at Bethnal Green train station? What did the kid look like? I have a feeling it might be the same group who stole my bike (I got it back in the end). They also had it advertised on Gumtree with other stolen bikes.
