Bike stolen in Munich

[egomeister]

Hi all...

I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who has just had his Boardman cyclocross bike stolen in Munich.

Normally I'd think you'd never see it again, but I don't think Boardman have any distribution in Germany so it is probably quite distinctive which gives a glimmer of hope that it can be tracked down.

Apart from ebay.de what are the common second hand websites in Munich/Germany to check? Any other advice worth knowing when trying to track down a bike?

Thanks Felix.

He's reporting it tomorrow. Glad to hear they take theft seriously, I certainly got the impression that the Polizei deal with minor matters well from when I was living in Cologne.

I hold out a bit of hope it might be traced. It's not a special bike as such (worth ~£1000), but it will be a very rare bike in Germany - I can't see another one of the same brand on ebay.de. It was stolen from a secluded area of his work car park so I think its unlikely to be someone just looking for a ride to the u-bahn.

Thanks for the site info, I'll check it out.
