Taken from property overnight (around 2:50am).Recovery Description
Spotted the bike being sold on eBay 6 months after stolen, contacted seller as an interested purchaser, obtained location details to view the bike and contacted the police. My local police were reluctant to act as it was located within another police force jurisdiction. Some persistence from me checking up on what they were doing led them to encourage the other police force to visit the seller. A combination of very rare specced parts made this bike identifiable despite serial number being removed from the bike.
