HI Everyone,
I was today making my usual commute into work when three guys came upto me and grabbed my bike.
They claimed it was there's and that i had stolen it.
Obviously i did not, i have had the bike from new for 18 months now.
They produced a picture of a bike which was the same make a colour as mine as well as a rusty cash converters receipt.
The police got involved and asked me to produce proof it was mine, e.g the serial number.
As i was on my way to work i didnt have any of this to hand, so the police took my bike away.
The police also confirmed the guy who was accusing me had had a bike stolen five months before.
Spoke to Halfords and as it was an online purchase and self build they dont keep any records of the serial number.
After coming home i cant find any details of the serial number but have found, the invoice, credit card statement and a dated picture of the bike when i got it linked to my facebook account.
The dates on all of these tally together.
What i want to know has anyone been through this before and will it be enough to prove the bike is mine.
Thanks in advance.
