Well last weekend went into a biker pub around the corner from me and guess what????
My bloody machine complete with my unique sticker on that I had designed for the machine.
Asked to speak to the landlord and one of the barmen said he bought it from ebay. Great I thought traceable. 30 mins later the landlord rung me telling me he had bought it from a carboot
Told him it was mine and exactly where it was nicked from to which he told me fair enough but he had paid for locks and battery and wanted 50 quid for it. Told him would let him know.
Quick visit to the police and they told me they would have a chat with him, if he refuses to hand back they would charge him with handling stolen goods. 30 mins later knock on my door from 2 police whom said machine was ready for collection whenever I want. What a result for a change.
guy was ok, bought machine off me in the end. Result
