The customer confirmed his bike had been stolen, with the cut off chain all that remained of his much loved machine. We tracked the bike cell locations for a few miles whilst the customer tried to report the crime. We decided to deploy a radio finder as no GPS signals were coming through, we thought it was possibly in the back of a van. After 20 minutes of being stationary we eventually received a valid GPS fix. This helped the finder home in on the secret radio tracking signals to find the bike parked up against a wall in the corner of a car park in the London Bermondsey SE16 area.
The bike had a damaged ignition and the front disc had been cut to remove the disc lock.
