All I'm saying is that the explicit written instructions that I had from a detective at Lewisham police station is that it is perfectly acceptable to call 999 if a stolen bike is spotted. This was in response to my v-sprint being seen a day after it was stolen.
I didn't even ask if 999 was ok, she volunteered it as the correct response to such a situation.
Copied and pasted from the email:
Hi,
No worries, thanks for that. Can you just ask people to dial999 if they see your bike being ridden? We can then look to arrest whoeveris riding it and get you to identify the bike down at the station if needbe. It would be great to catch up with this person and get your bike backto you.
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, I'll keep in touch re theCCTV. I will also get an image of a bike similar to yours put onto ourbriefing so taht the uniformed officers can keep an eye out for it if it isthat rare. Thanks again for your help
