eBay/gumtree addict finds stolen bike...

My constant eBay and gumtree trawling paid off this week.

There's been an advert on eBay about 3 bikes stolen from Cwmbran area for many months, stolen in January.

Whilst I was sat in work on a night shift Sunday, I was on gumtree and spotted a Ktm 250 in Birmingham. I knew I recognised it and thankfully the post about the bikes being stolen was still online, I checked the pics, exact same bike.

I text the bikes owner at 4am but after being rudely awoken he was over the moon that id found it and the matter was handed over the police

Brilliant well done fella. 4am wake up call for your pride and joy. Excellent

excellent

Good man. See a skive on nights pays off. What was your finders fee. Lol

Nice, how long they reckon it will take for him to get the bike back?

He said he would keep me updated.

I kept an eye on the gumtree advert, I think the current seller had bought it unaware. As he was asking top wack for it with out a logbook or plate. There was even a photo of him sitting on the bike smiling to the camera, handy for the police

The advert was briefly updated with new photos of the bike, as there was just one pic when I first seen it. Then it was deleted off gumtree.

Good man curl - top private eye work

Fair play there fella well done
