^ had a similar experience to thedopestghost. Assaulted 6 years ago and still receiving the occasional random cheque(!) for £10. Even if you get awarded the full value of the bike, be prepared to receive it back over a loooong period of time, because chances are the perp doesn't have an income to speak of so will plead poverty and the court will just insist it comes out of their benefits gradually.
