That's bloody awful. Thieving toerags. It's one of the worst feelings getting something you own stolen by some to$$er who can't be bothered to get off their lazy backside of a morning to do an honest day's work.
They can’t really do anything. It’s hard to prove an eBay bike hasn’t passed through several sets of hands before it gets picked up.I have previous knowledge of bikes recovered by police when spotted for sale on eBay but police did not prosecute.
The insurance company is LV ( Liverpool Victoria ) it is a household policy, not specific to the bike.
Right, well I had better check for my frame number then - #4867715.The desk sergeant ( or whatever they’re called now ) gave me a card with a website on it, which is at home at the moment. If you supply the site with frame numbers, of stolen bikes, they have a database where all places like Cash Converters et al check before they take a bike in. Anyone can check the database before they buy a bike second hand as well.
The excess is 100 quid, the no claims is protected.We have a no claims in ours with them, if you claim would you lose that and have to pay an excess!

It’s still cheaper than a new bike.Unfortunately the premium may still rise.
You have my sympathy, it's a terrible feeling when your bike gets stolen, I still occasionally look for my Ron Spencer bike that was stolen in the early 1990's.
So many memories of rides are attached to a bike.
(My bike was dark blue, but it was similar to this bike.)
