My Stolen Bike Is Being Resold On Marketplace And The Police Are Telling My Only Option Is To Buy It Back.
Location: Ohio. My bicycle along with another bicycle and additional belongings were stolen out of our garage a year and a half ago. The bike was worth almost $3,000 in parts and I filed a police report for everything.
I recently came across someone trying to sell it on marketplace for $1,000. I called the PD Information desk to talk about the situation and what options I had and the woman just told me that I’ll just have to buy it back because it’s been over a year and they can’t prove that the person selling it was the one who stole it or is even aware that it was stolen. She never even asked for the report number. She said that it didn’t matter that there’s a police report documenting it as stolen property and they won’t assist in any way. Is this reasonable? I find it really difficult to believe that even if this isn’t the person who stole it, if notified that what they have is stolen property, they’re still just allowed to keep and sell it and telling me to buy my stolen bike back just feels like an insult.
