@stembridge_96 contact the police and tell them you have recovered the stolen bike they should come out check the bike with the info and then you should be good Im not speaking from experience but I’m pretty sure this is how to do it glad you have it back btw

so basically it was miss placed for 3 year @Mightyman does that mean it won't be classed as stolen recovered

@terry-tz Be interesting to see what the crack is with my DT. It was stolen for less than 24 hours. But nothing went through insurers or what. Shame if it's been black marked as it's better than new now. Also I know bikes that have not been stolen and seen more action.

@stembridge_96 You can do a HPI check, which will tell you if the bike has anything recorded against it.

@declan Yeah mate, it was totalled. Both rims bent beyond repair. The forks destroyed. Handle bars bent. Levers all broken. Engine ran with no oil. Fuel take smashed beyond economical repair. Panels destroyed. Frame bent.
Oh and it squeak for no end! Properly annoying. I nursed it back to good health though. It's now enjoying retirement.

Surely if you had called the police when you spotted the ad for your stolen bike, the police would have had to recovered your bike for you for free wouldn't they?
I unknowingly bought a stolen TS50 as a kid, the police took it off me, and the lad that I bought it from was told to give me my money back in installments (which he never did). I was totally gutted at the time, but at least the original owner got thier bike back. -

Unless the bike has had an insurance claim made on it, it wont be on the insurance catagoration register. It will however be marked as stolen on pnc if its been reported to the police as stolen and you dont tell them you have got it back. If you dont tell them soon as you tax it dvla will tell them as stolen bike has been taxed.
What were you doing buying your own bike back anyway ? You should have went to see it, checked the frame number, walked away and rang the bizzyz and they would have got it back for free and removed the stolen marker from the pnc.
