So I picked up a nice bike recently, its just a beater, didnt pay much for it. It didnt look like it was worth more than I paid for it either.
I got it off gumtree, went and met the guy at his garage, he had a huge back story about how his grandad used to work with the guy who ownes Daycocks Cycles. So, he had a garage full of bikes in East London, all his grandads from when he was a trader but its time to get rid of em. His story seemed legit and he knew his shit about bikes.
Last night, someone outside a pub approached me telling me how my bike was theirs and it was stolen from infront of their house a couple of months ago. I took their number, they took mine and I promised to help come to a solution. Bearing in mind, it was only the frame that was theirs, all the parts must have come from elsewhere.
Ive got the mobile number for this guy I bought it off and I know exactly where his garage is too and it was FULL of bikes.
I'm in a bit of a moral dilema. Is it worth getting the police involved? I want this girl to have her bike back, but I dont want to be out of pocket either.
What am I to do?
