Few weeks later I saw it on Ebay, even still had my name on it.

Found out that you, as an individual can not report an item to Ebay that you believe to be stolen, It has to come from a law enforcement official.

By the time the Police were involved, it had been sold on and the Police were not interested  >:(

One of my brothers customers recovered there bike when finding it on eBay. He asked them to meet at the garage my brother worked in to have it checked over before perches. They organised it with the old bill who laid in wait around the corner.
It would have been a happy ending if the bloke loading it onto the recovery truck didn't drop it.

Van locks are a complete joke you may as well keep it unlocked.
I have been shown how to get into the new shape Transit in such a way it unlocks all doors and disables the alarm in almost complete silence.

Sorry to hear your news Roy, not a good way to start 2018. It's gut wrenching having personal things stolen. I had all my work tools stolen once from my locked work bench. I and a few others knew who the lazy, thieving, drug taking scumbag was who stole them but we couldn't prove it. There was no work insurance either and had to spend all my savings replacing my tools. I was bloody angry. I had the last laugh when he lost his job a few months later for causing a fire after dropping his lit cigarette into a large open can of evo-stick whilst off his head. I was the shop steward at the time and refused to represent him at his disaplinary hearing, it was payback time as far as I was concerned.
I hope you get back on your feet soon and can put this behind you, don't sell the bikes, they keep you sane and give you good times to forget the bad times like this. Good things come out of bad, I wish you luck for 2018.

Really sorry to hear that, if there is a bit of help that can be offered like others I might have a odd bit of kit that can be loaned, or given to help get you back on your feet. A mate of mine had some tools lifted out of his van, spotted them on eBay, and bought them, had the old bill wait around the corner. They nicked the scrotes before cash was handed over, I hope this might happen more often, especially on this occasion. Sadly I've also had a mate put out of business after his shop was done over twice, the insurance renewal was what made him close his doors for good. Personally I'm an advocate of cctv as the newer systems can email you if anyone triggers the motion sensor recording in cirtain zones you set on the cameras, coupled with several cameras to cover each other and several angles I reacon they help deter the light fingered. Shooting is too good for many of them.
