A little while back my recumbent was stolen near Morpeth (UK) and I posted a 'stolen' ad here. After several months of adventures it found its way back to me - suffering a little from surface rust and vandalism, but it will live again.
To add insult to injury, after being stolen from private farmland in the middle of nowhere it was abandoned unlocked & in full public view on a rough estate - and it stayed put for several months judging by its condition.
So, Hurrah! - and thanks to those who gave suggestions as to how to recover it. And if you do see a red M5 recumbent with custom modified etc. etc. stop me to say 'hi' but please _don't_ call the police!
