May just have broken down on the way home of course. </p> the canuck on "Possible stolen bike, how to report?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20089#post-322682 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 21:04:10 +0000 the canuck 322682@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, all! </p> chdot on "Possible stolen bike, how to report?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20089#post-322674 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 18:09:53 +0000 chdot 322674@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Supposed to hand to police</p> <p>If unclaimed after 3 months (I think) it’s yours </p> Arellcat on "Possible stolen bike, how to report?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20089#post-322673 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 18:01:46 +0000 Arellcat 322673@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's every possibility that the bike is just a bike.</p> <p>It's worth reporting it to the Police if you have tried checking the frame number against <a href="https://www.bikeregister.com/bike-checker">BikeRegister</a> and <a href="https://www.veloeye.com/">Veloeye</a> (for example) and come up with nothing.</p> <p>I suppose if you happen to have a UV torch, you could look for a fluorescent security marking. </p> the canuck on "Possible stolen bike, how to report?" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20089#post-322672 Sat, 15 Feb 2020 17:47:17 +0000 the canuck 322672@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A Claude Butler was thrown onto the premises of one of my workplaces several months ago.</p> <p>If it's reported stolen, we'd like to hand it over to the police. If not, we'd like to get it to a charity that could give it a service and get it back on the road.</p> <p>Any idea how we find this out without spending ages? I've looked around a few 'stolen bike' websites and not found anything. </p>
