The bloke who thought it was a good idea to lock it in London Bridge overnight has been searching too and at the moment we are just haggling over what he should pay me to compensate. It's not easy I can tell you.
Surely he should pay you whatever the cost to replace the bike as closely as possible? whether the components on your bike had been used or not, doesn't affect what it will cost you to replace it. If he is arguing the I think he needs a CNRHKTTH* to set him thinking straight,
I used to feel the same about my bike after it was stolen, but i have to remind myself it's only a fucking bike. True I say to myself but still...... I look everyday for it thinking, one day it will turn up and I'll get it back. In all honesty however, it is unlikely, but man, i love to dream !
I had a red schwinn BMX stolen when I was 16, had just spent about £100 on new tyre/stem/bars (best bmx bar/stem combo i ever had ): ) it literally got stolen that day. Someone told me the estate it had supposedly ended up in, everytime I pass through now i still scour every corner for it... 8 years on! The saddest thing i always think is, it's probably in one of the back gardens in a heap of rust.
