I have reported the burglary, but they told me on the day that it is unlikely they will proceed. I have kept all of the screenshots and provided the information below via the online form, but haven't heard back from a human yet
The plot has thickened quite a bit. After the call on Saturday, on Sunday I went to brick lane and started showing the pictures of the bike to the bike thieves. They were aware of the posters I put up in the neighbourhood and miraculously one of them was able to contact the person in possession of my bike and asked them to call me again. We have arranged to meet and I bought the bike back off of him because apparently 'he bought it on brick lane and didn't know it was stolen and didn't want any trouble'. A claim that I find dubious, given that the bike vendor was able to call him, but well. In the process I have also spotted some of my neighbours' kids selling bikes on brick lane...
At least I have been reunited with my bike. Spent most of the sunday taking it apart to the last bearing in an attempt to wash all the evil out of it.

An interesting turn of events. After my Cinelli got stolen, I put up a couple of posters with my IG and phone number in the local area, offering a reward for the safe return of the bike. Yesterday much to my surprise I received a call from a withheld number with a guy telling me his mate sent him pictures of my poster after he bought my bike. I asked him to send a picture of the bike and call me again, but so far I haven't heard from him. What should I do?

Do you have pictures? When will you next be in London? Potentially interested depending on photos
