Default Stolen bike found in Ramsgate

A long shot, I know, but one has turned up on our street in Ramsgate (now in
the kitchen). Obviously a hack bike, but with some fairly serviceable bits
on it: the (purple) frame is steel and a very large size (60+cm); with
Ambrosio 'Gentleman' rims on Miche hubs built by our very own Harry Rowland
(back when he was London-based, going by the phone number); other
recognisable parts include Stronglight cranks and some fairly new Tektro
dual-caliper brakes.

The bike is nothing special, but looks like it's been fairly well used, and
may be missed.

Otherwise it's going on my turbo trainer (with the saddle lowered).

I've emailed East Kent CTC and Thanet Road Club.

Might be worth contacting local bike shops, in case the owner has done
the same.

According to http://www.askthe.police.uk/content/Q245.htm:
You should liaise with your local police station. It maybe that you want to
hold onto the property on the understanding that if the owner comes forward
you must relinquish it or you can hand it in at your local police station.
If you choose to hand it in then you will be given a form that entitles you
to collect the property if it is not claimed within 28 days (except mobile
phones and any other unsuitable objects).

Also, it might be datatagged.

What you should do is report it to the Plod, take the description and
frame number, and if no one claims it it's yours, legally, after 21
days. They'll probably ask you to keep hold of it instead of
cluttering their yard.
That's how I acquired a usable Raleigh 20.


I've already told plod. They told me the same thing.
