Local bike fencing gang from Bulgaria, of no relevance other than to highlight that they're part of a Europe wide organised criminal network apparently shipping parts and bikes to brittany. Well they got shut down a few months after my bike got nicked. £80,000 worth of bikes and parts found at two addresses in the area.
My bike was marked and registered under a police initiative / registration scheme. I logged my bike theft on all available stolen bike databases. I never got it back. My work colleague, the only other guy with a bike remotely worth nicking, got his back. Apparently the second time he's had a bike stolen and the second time he's got his bike back. It got stolen a few months later but he wasn't third time lucky.
How did he get his bike back? He put the word out and due to coming from a dodgy area he got word back. Then being a big lad he had a scuffle then rode off with his bike. Not everyone is in his position but he wasn't the only one who knew who had done that bike theft. Don't rely on getting any bike back but insure and move on.
