Bikes are stolen in London at an alarming rate, are there ways to help gather evidence against those that think this is an ok thing to do to make a living/get kicks?
It sounds a little far fetched but 'm thinking bait bikes with hidden cameras. The police might be able to do more if we can show them a perps face.
Where do all of the bikes go?! So few seem to be spotted again in London, I feel very few end up in Brick Lane really, would they not be spotted more frequently if so?! Are they dismantled, resprayed, exported?! Gum tree is awful but who can spend hours trawling through the lsitings?! We shouldn't have to either! I think I saw my stolen bike up on ebay with different wheels, but who knows!? I even got outbid on it!!
It is so frustrating!! I want my stolen bike back! Do others feel the same way?!
