Theft Description

Stolen from outside of the house in shepherd's bush close to goldhawk station area.

Recovery Description

I put up posters all around my area with the photo of the bike, a mini description and my contact details although i was deeply discouraged not to. I received zero prank calls. To the contrary, i got informed that the bike was spotted by an individual in the area and although i didn't manage to catch the person the first time, this only made me put up some more posters. The police saw them as well and they spotted the thief riding the bike 7 days later. They called me to confirm that this was my bike and that was it. Some thieves are really dumb and actually cruise the area they stole it from. Mine was found 10 minutes walking distance from my house.
