Returned through this site!! I saw a Facebook Marketplace ad for my bike 3 days after it was stolen. Contacted 101 and tried to arrange to meet with seller. Before he confirmed address and time though it was taken down. :( Thought that would be the end of it and I’d never see it again but the person who had actually bought it from Marketplace realised it was stolen (suspicious about price/photos and that seller blocked him after sale). He searched online what to do and found you could search by frame number. He then contacted me through ww.stolen-bikes.co.uk and arranged to return it to me the same day! I am over the moon to have been reunited with it and that all the posts I made on Twitter, Facebook Groups, bikes pages and time searching ads on sites like these paid off. Thank you to the brilliant people who set-up and maintain this site and all those in the community who offered advice.
