Returned a minute later to find empty workstand bike gone. It's not worth a lot but it was my old go-to bike. Will try to post pic asap and frame no. Cheers STW folks. 🙁
What area was it stolen from?
Satterthwaite,near Grizedale Lake District. Was going to add to original post,date should be 4/7/14 yesterday morning. Thanks.
Frame No. For Stolen Trek Fuel,all black WL 1219658. Thanks cliffyc. 🙂
Worth checking with the info guys at Grizedale to see if any other bikes have been nicked from outside the cafe or off cars this weekend. Seems ridiculous for such a brazen theft to happen in Satterthwaite.
Theiving scum nabbed = bike returned!. Result. Got my Trek back this afternoon 2 WPC s stopped the scrote riding it on Saturday but let him go as they did not know it was stolen. Quick call to another cop shop and they realized it was mine. Tea-leaf nabbed this morning on it at 4am!. "Delivered" back to me today (minus Selle Italia SLR saddle and SPDs). But glad to have it back!. Hope other STW folk missing their bike get them back!. 🙂
Good news 😀
Superb news 🙂
Woah! Great news...
Whereabouts was it recovered, out of interest?
Good work by the polis !
Made up for you pal, I hope the plod round my way are as efficient as yours in getting my P7 back - however very much doubt it.
but let him go as they did not know it was stolen
Would it not be sensible for the WPCs to have called in the description / serial number? Thief surely would have been apprehended there and then?
Good result though mate.
Recovered near Coniston. Odd feeling getting it back after it's "holiday" though, as much nicer bike taken in last two weeks been posted on here may never come back......
To be fair to WPCs they got enough info on the first stop, but did not have full bike description. Sorry to hear about your P7 scary carey... 🙁
Great news!
BREAKING NEWS,scumbag goes down!!!. Just gotta cal on the mobile local CID in Barrow. Mr Lightfingers who nicked my Trek was in court yesterday. Told magistrates he "bought" the bike of a bloke at Grizedale?, so he pleaded guilty to recieving stolen goods (more serious crime numbnuts!,shoulda a said you stole it!), so they have given him 3 months in prison. Hope he likes porridge and he should buy a soap-on-a-rope for the showers. Result.
blimey, that got to court quickly 🙂
yay!!
Double result!
Excellent.
Though very surprised he got jail for it. Always thought bike theft was little more than a slap on the wrist. Maybe he "had previous".
Chhers guys!,yep local plod on it like a car bonnet!. Slow crime rate possibly in Lakes at the moment!. Lovely lady detective I talked to this morning said our young lightfingered friend was in Young Offenders place last time he was nicked and hated it,lets see how he likes grown-ups prison!!. 🙂
Guess he'll be learning new skills in there though unfortunately.
To deadkenny, recieving stolen goods is a more serious offence (girlfriend's brother is a PC and worked this case) he would have got non custodial for nicking it I guess!
Good result all round
