Brilliant news.
Told my missus your story last night when watching one of those reality police programs. Old Bill actually took this blokes car back to his house for him as it was close to where they picked it up with the person they nicked for it!! Obviously contra to your (and most others experience)
.....I may have a mirror. Won't be new, but let me know if you want me to check.

It don't look as though she were dropped but i'm still trying to figure out how the o/s mirror was snapped off at the top of the stem.
I'll take some bike piccys tomorra and then give her a good wash and a proper look over. Gotta contact the insurance and see where I stand with the recovery costs as I can't fully decipher my policy
Still got the yellow frame bung too

Excellent news Studley
After your exploits, I was at the shopping centre yesterday so I put a padlock on the rear disc, just to be sure. Forgot it when I came out & was wondering why I couldn't reverse out of the carpark, thought someone had put a brick on the road or something until the penny dropped.
I can still hear someone laughing now

Good to hear the ordeal's nearly over.. On the subject of video-ing with 'puters, there are a couple of freebies out there that you can use to turn any old webcam into CCTV surveillance:
Yawcam - small & simple
Vitamin D - single-camera version is free.
I've also got a cheapy wireless IP camera like this one
eBay linkiness in my daughter's nursery; it streams live to the internet so I can view it from anywhere, including on my phone, it will also upload images at regular intervals to the web via FTP. Needs a bit of fiddling with your router to allow communication but worth the geekiness.

Rang my insurance company and I can't claim back the £150 police recovery cost as my excess is £250.
Police rang me last nite to ask if there was anything else to add now that I'd got my bike back. Of course I mentioned the fact that it was difficult finding the £150 and that it didn't seem fair that I should pay for the recovery simply because the forensics team have to investigate it.
That's police policy these days, was the reply.
So, chav causes £60 damage. Joe public saves the day by finding my bike
Police then legally steal my bike and threaten to crush it if I don't pay them £150.
