It's in Walsall. It ends at 7 in the morning. If you're in Cannock, that's just south of you, right? I'm going to take a gamble, and bid on that - if it doesn't work out, I'll just have to pay him the cash, and let him relist. If you're able to help with this, I'll be hugely grateful.

I'm confused? Are you suggesting someone from here broke into my shed? Or are you suggesting I didn't really have the bikes at all? That's a strange post.

So sorry to hear.

Still, it's not what you want on Christmas morning.
My condolences. I hope they do not read this forum.

oh Ive never sold anything on Ebay

have to see how easy it is...or difficult.

Ive got another R20...But its a non folder as well.
I was riding it about for a while.

I have loads of bikes in my yard and sheds.
I got my Mini moto knicked in the summer..GRRRR.
was going to put the engine and wheels on a Raleigh Boxer

Had a Haro BMX frame knicked a couple of years ago. They moved a lot of stuff to get it.

Also had a Raleigh wild cat BMX...that I was modding it was knicked from my yard ages ago.
Told the police.
I had just put a lot of bits on it...
I heard that kids had been at the school vandalising...they had thrown my bike of the roof.
This was weeks after it got stolen
I went to the police station the day after.
The police man had told the school janitor to throw all the broken stuff in the bin.

GRRRRR.

That was the fourth time that bike had got stolen.
