I informed the PC that the bike was sold when I found out that it had been sold. I didn't have the frame number but every single part on that bike was added on [custom] and not Isla standard parts. I am 100% certain it was my bicycle. It also had distinguishing marks on it i.e a dent in the top tube.

Not filed a complaint yet. Got an email from the sergeant (at 1am last night) to say that they are really understaffed which is why they could not go and retrieve it:
Apologies. We did try to action going to look for your bike but at no
point were we able to do this during our shifts. I’d gotten authority
to pay people to stay on after the shift but by coincidence that was
the day that the bike was sold and was no longer available. Had the
bike still been there our intentions where to try and recover it.
Unfortunately we were not able to do this in time.As for what happens now. The short answer is that I’m afraid we won’t
be taking any further action or pursuing this matter. We weren’t
intending to arrest or prosecute the woman selling the bike. If we
could have proven that it was your bike then we would look to have
informed the seller of this and then recovered it. As it’s no longer
there we are not taking any action and the matter is being closed.I found out that the bike was sold after messaging her on the 16th of April to check to see whether the bike was still available. She said that a guy from around her estate bought it.

I posted about my Isla being stolen at the end of January: https://www.lfgss.com/comments/14593184/
Someone contacted me at the end of March after they saw a bike that fit the description of mine being sold on Facebook marketplace.. falsely advertised as an Isla Pro. Of course I immediately contacted the police to inform them, in the mean time I was able to get the seller's phone number / address (based in London Fields - less than a mile from where the bike was stolen) but I didn't want to retrieve the bike myself as didn't want to put my life at risk. Found the seller's Shpock page where other bikes are being sold: https://www.shpock.com/en-gb/users/VwXj-MxzHkZhi0WD
Got assigned a police officer on the 1st of April and the bike was still being sold on Facebook. PC suggested that they would send units to retrieve it. 2 weeks later and me constantly begging for updates/actions, the seller sold the bike to someone on her estate apparently and police did nothing.
Just a note to say police seem pretty hands off, even when you have all the information for them. Such a shame as I could have got my bike back! Anyone had any positive experiences?
