Got my brooks stolen from the Barbican car park last week - right next to the security guards office. Me and my boyfriend had our bikes locked together with a cable through both saddles. They cut the cable and prized off the saddles, broke/lost the tops of the seat posts so we have had to get new posts and carradice racks as well.
Anyway decided to buy cheap old brooks on ebay. It wasn't until after I bought it I realised that the seller 'specialises' in second hand brooks. Really pissed off that I might have inadvertently helped the trade in stolen saddles.
Just a couple of weeks ago I bought a brooks for my other older bike on ebay that was very definitely from some old boy cleaning out his shed, so I just presumed this was a similar seller.
Any idea what I should do?
