Never understood this part. Name and shame I say.

Legal reasons, if he goes to court and his defence argues that a member of the jury was prejudice by what was posted here then there is a chance he could be acquitted.

Can come to bite you if ever goes to court.

IT’S been aggressive? Right.

It suggests mean words. I'm prey sure it is the cyber attack. You apple people wouldn't understand, Steve Jobs wouldn't allow such mean things.

So after about 18 months The bike came back and it Was fucked.

Translated by someone who's typing and spelling are both awful...

Sweet relief.

Definitely interested to see the convo history, of course somewhat anonymised I love when a good story develops and has a bit of drama with a good resolution.

in hindsight it's probably not that interesting. just messages backwards and forwards between a buyer and seller until he sends me a bunch of pics of all this shitty old deore 8spd drivetrain stuff that he'd procured and was going to fit on the bike, I assume to turn it back into a 3x something. he even had a Thule ball mount rack and brand new socket set he was throwing in for free. Illegally obtained I can only assume.

So I emailed the insurer the day I recovered the bike then had a week off work. Arrived today to find an email response from them saying

"We advise that we have settled the above claim for net of $about tree-fiddy You may disposed the recovered bike. We will now close the claim as completed"

Well alright then. Win-win for me but fark, no wonder our insurance premium is so much that they pay out, then can't even be bothered to sell their recovered property.

Now I have the real first world problem, which bike do I sell the recovered Merida or do i offload my old classic custom build 2008 stumpjumper?

I had the same, bike stolen but I got it back quickly although wheels were damaged.
It was insured and I explained now much it would cost to replace them.
They said, ok here's the money. I asked what they wanted how do want the wheels returned to them and they said, just keep them / do as you will with them.
Ok I said...
