I would appeal the bus lane fine as you have, hopefully, proof the scooter was stolen during the time of the offence so you could not have been the rider.

But at least it means their repairers not having to wait for SYM to supply the parts then repairing it. Only me to have it back to find there is something else the low-lifes have done to it that was not picked up by the repairers. And having to sort that out at my expense. I'm pretty sure it will never be quite the same after thieves have had their hands on it. So this way it is sorted out quicker and I get a shiny new one.

Snag is of course that you'll now only get the current value of your scoot, which of course, certainly won't be enough to buy a new one.
