Interesting story, showing that with a bit of perseverance and police assistance, bike thieves can be caught in the selling act.

Several people on STW have recovered bikes through careful monitoring of ebay, gumtree, LBS or just walking around. A lot of people also help find them on there... getting bikes back does happen, just not frequently sadly.0

good stuff - how do you put an automated search on ebay? I keep looking for my fuel ex8 and would like an automated search to keep a look out....0

@pilsburypie - You'll need to log in to your account. Make a search and then once the results are shown there will be an option to save the search. Once saved you can change the properties of the search to email you and set expirees etc.0

Yes they can get caught, but sadly the sentences handed out never quite justify the seriousness of the crime.
After all, the all the kid did was steal a bicycle which is nothing too serious in the Judge's eyes..0 -
