Discussion
Can't believe the attitude i've just got asking policemen about this.My bike was stolen from my shed,thieving t
t had lifted several things out of the shed which were in the way to get the bike out.Including parts of a plastic tool box,and a large clear plastic container full of white spirit that was covered with oil from my hands when i was using it a lot last week.I can actually very clearly see finger prints on it,clear as day!Scene of crime officer comes out,doesn't even open her bag of tricks.Just stands there going can't get prints of that,or that,or this?I just stood there in disbelief!Police just say oh,so you don't believe the opinion of a trained professional,well,no i sodding don't!Having a bike stolen is upsetting enough without having nothing done about it!

People were always telling me oh no,don't spread all these pics saying about rewards etc,you'll drive the bike further underground.But my logic was to try and flush it out with the reward.I feel like one lucky sod!
