Good for you mate - tracker helped but you did the leg-work to retrieve your bike, well done It's sad but, as you say Police have more important (or easy targets) to bother with a theft as for the AA recovery service - its not worth the premium

It’s crazy how you had to do everything to recover the bike . With all the evidence you had I imagine you had to take the law into your own hands to open the garage which puts you at risk with the law .

I’m not sure I would have been as patient with the Kent police. After having my motocross bike almost stolen I know the anger I felt . I may have got emotional/ irrational and threatened the police to take the matter into my own hands with weapons potentially injuring myself and the gang to escalate it to a level where they were forced to attend . Your patience lead to a safer outcome for everyone concerned and the bike.

No its there Attitude they just don't give a dam anymore but am Glad you got your bike back though
