Bike taken yesterday, bike recovered today. Relief.
Nicely done CTF. They responded quickly to a daft ad placed on Gumtree in the morning, calling me to say that my bike was safe by the afternoon. Throughout the process (a good few emails were sent back and forth) they were pleasantly informal and quick to respond to any queries.
On the subject of arranging a date between rozzers and tea leaf, the advice from the CTF was not to contact the thief directly. I'm not knocking a more involved strategy, and I can well understand the desire for activity (thumb twiddling was excruciating), but the official line was that I should leave it to the professionals. In the end, action was taken very quickly on my behalf.
All in all, dealing with the CTF was a very reassuring experience.
