Theft Description

4th August 2016 - This frame is still marked as stolen. After long pointless discussions with both Manchester Police and Parcel Force who both couldn't give a flying f**k about it and the buyers mobile number no longer being active (funny that), I have given up ever seeing this frame again. This has been a hard expensive lesson in trust.  Whoever stole this bike (Gamal Kaba, 41 Ladybird Lane M14 6NG if that was your real name or address) I hope you enjoy your free frame... As you can see I no longer see the point in hiding details, delete if inappropriate or if you know Gamal get him to call me...   This bike frame is still stolen and now all hope of recovering it has been lost so I will publicly post how unhelpful the Police, ParcelForce and also the Ebay buyers name so that no one else can be conned in this manner. The whole experience has changed my once trusting manner. Somewhere between Edinburgh and Manchester via Coventry, during shipping or after delivery, the frame was removed from the box and stolen. The empty Cervelo branded box was delivered. At this point, I am pointing no fingers however if anyone knows of Cycle Clubs/shops in either Edinburgh or the Greater Manchester area please can you share this. I have all the details of the frame however will only disclose them upon PM or the police. If anyone is offered this frame, contact the police asap. There will be a monetary reward for any information that sees the frame back in my hands!
