Lads I got a second hand mtb bike off eBay but it just doesn't seem to ride right
I can't find the serial no and it looks nothing like the newer years models

Where would the frame no be on it?

The frame number will be under the bottom bracket (under where the pedals are).

Why would it being plasticky make you think it is stolen?

Additional bit of info from google - specialized frame numbers generally start with WUD, STT or STE".

Que?

I'm not sure how buying a cheap, used bike that was probably not maintained correctly means it is stolen.

OP, post a link to the add.

You've bought a helmet, make sure you plug it in to the mains before placing on head

Haha OP. You're an idiot. It's clearly a Chinese rip off and the stickers aren't even straight. Get back on eBay and quote your distance selling rights.

If it is stolen, I'd definitely grass them up to the police.....

Enough with these cutting remarks. Is it not plain to see that the OP is in turmoil on having a charge of receiving stolen property hovering above them.
