my Honda monkey bike was stolen from my garden in cardiff 2 years ago, it was brand new and cost me £1800 plus registration a years uninsurance tax dvla fees ect.
i contacted the police and the insurance company and tried to make a claim, the insurance company offered me £150 as they said thats the book value .
i didnt hear from the police again till 6 months ago when they phoned me at work saying that they have got the bike and the person who stole it.
as they had the bike 3 months before contacting me the place wer the bike was being kept as evidence!! tried to charge me £800 to pick the bike up, the bike had been striped and smashed up so wasnt anything near worth colecting.
thats ok cos i can get some money back from the court maybe only that the guy told them he braught it in the pub and couldnt remember who had sold him it so got let off with a warning.
I love the justice system in the country.
