Recovery Description

Recovered is not the right word. 6 months after being stolen, I received a call from the police who arrested someone riding it. They identified it from the frame number. I was asked to make a statement and prepare myself for giving evidence at trial. The trial date came and went and I learned that the man had been acquitted. Throughout this time I tried to recover the bike from the police without success. They eventually told me that they had destroyed it due to its ‘poor condition’ in error. What a waste of time....
