you need to go to local police station and ask, sorry mate hope its not yours,

Just had a phone call, and had to tell the police that it might have been found. They knew nothing about it???

That's bad luck Earl , hope you can sort some thing out with your Insurance company

Did you not tell police it was stolen? surely you did,
cos you need a crime number for your insurance

What?!! Sorry to hear about the loss.

Never understood why boys steal bikes then burn them out, why doesn't someone just spey them or something?

Yes I rang the police the minute I noticed it had gone, I then had to ring them yesterday to tell them that it had been found burnt out by a member of the public and one of those community police officers, who by all accounts hadn't reported his find (Pr**k)

Commiserations mate...

What was the cop thinking by not reporting it. Hope you complain about the plonker.

Thanks to friends in the Leigh area I now know it is at Edgertons Recovery at 3 sisters in Wigan totally burnt out It's great how you can get stuff done quicker than the police these days, but Egertons won't let me go and see it or take pictures.
