That os how my cousin got his bike back, he had an echo lite with jack harmer trials stickers all over it and it got nicked, he got another bike and put the same stickers on it, few weeks later this kid came along and said i have one of those jack harmer trials bikes. They told the police, who did f**k all, so they aranged to meet them in a car park, handed the chav this form that the police had told them to give, stuck it in the van and drove off.
Im sure jack will correct my story some what but that is a reason backing your hope sticker idea
