I Found An Expensive Mountain Bike…
34 Answers
So I have attempted to report it to the Police.
1. Dialled 101. No reply. After 20 minutes gave up.
2. Dialled my local Police station, answering machine says they do not monitor it at weekends.
3. Dialled station this morning. A polite lady says their system won’t let them check if any bicycles have been stolen. They didn’t want my name and contact details or make and model of bike or where I had found it. Told me to use the Live Chat facility on GM Police website.
4. They said I should post it on Facebook. When I said I am not on Facebook, they said it is easy to join. I ignored that and asked if any bicycles had been reported stolen in my area? Apparently it is impossible to check, and said again to use social media.
5. Walked into town and nobbled a PCSO and told them. They took no notes and told me to ring 101.
6. Rang 101. No reply.
So someone somewhere has had their £500 bike nicked and the Police aren’t at all interested in solving the crime.

Decided I had wasted too much time on this problem and dumped it across the doorway of the hut the PCSOs go and hide it.
Ymb, Yes an eye opener for me. Didn’t realise the police have totally given up some crimes. Advertise on FaceBook For Funks Sake.
