  I hear what you're saying, and thanks for the reply, but it's a rented property and it doesn't seem worth the hassle and expense of getting it done when I'll probably be moving on in a couple of years or so.

  You know your circumstances, of course, but even good ground anchors are not expensive, and fixing one is just a matter of drilling a couple of holes, then screwing in the supplied security bolts. It's nreally ot a big deal. If you're going to be there for a couple of years, it would be well worth it. Even a couple of months, maybe.

  Are you not able to fit a ground or wall anchor? It's easy, assuming you are allowed to, and some are seriously chunky. Secure the bikes to that using a recommended heavy chain and lock and/or a couple of the D locks mentioned in this thread (like the Kryptonite NY series).

  The one you first noticed, and whom Innenzi challenged, has a new batch too. There must be a lot of these auctions around. I wonder if they give receipts.

  Sorry that should have read "use the return address with which the eBay seller should have supplied you when sending the saddle...." etc.

  If someone here does claim it, you could also consider this: take photographs before you return it to them; make sure to keep the copy of their description of it and ask them if they'd be prepared to give a witness statement to the police, and maybe evidence in court, that the saddle is their property (great if they've got their own proof - receipts, photographs and so on - from before it was stolen). Then use the return address they should have supplied with the saddle to report the seller to the police (as well as to eBay). If they didn't supply one, you can find it through eBay itself. eBay should advise on how to do that.

  Any further updates on when these might be available? They don't seem to be replying to emails sent through their web site.

  yes indeed well at least the sale was withdrawn which means the person/people think again about reselling stolen goods .....

  hi if you are out there :)

  Say "hi" to this one, too. Looks like the same saddle, same auction wording ("posting only") allegedly different seller. Looks like "thinking again about reselling stolen goods" might mean only thinking it would be better to sell them under a different name. Two feedback so far, of five Brooks sold; and currently five more for sale.

  Or perhaps it was this one - sold for £32 plus postage on 10 Dec:
