Stolen bikes

A success story (transcript of my post on facebook):

"Last weekend at a cafe near columbia road, my rear wheel got nicked despite being in eyesight of our table at all times (gimpo thiefo etc etc). I resolved to go to brick lane, a known location of purveyors of material of dubious ownership.

Lo and behold this morning such a purveyor had aforesaid wheel, attached to a mongrel bike of various parts. Not wanting to get into fisticuffs, I called the police then myself and [gf] set up stake out guard duty having established the only entry/exit sites of the area.

The fuzz didn't show after the hour they said they would take, max, so I rang again to express my extreme displeasure, having given [gf] a description of a fellow who was looking at the bike with intention to buy (let's call him Spiky). [gf] catches Spiky leaving having exchanged 70 quid for the bike, and tells him the lay of the land. Whereupon the two of them return to the stall, he gets a full refund and I show up to watch the stall owner take the wheel off and hand it back along with a latex glove to prevent mucky hands!

Not the conclusion I expected to be honest. Then we ate corn dogs, pancakes, bacon, hot dog, fries, and milkshake in celebration."

If anyone is interested it's the stall at the back of the car park on Sclater St with all the blatantly stolen bikes and parts on it (part of a row of 3 the same, in the middle).

I've a video of it that I thought about sending to the CTF or similar, but the guy is not really depicted well - still worth it? Still worth reporting the situation?
