What about the poor fucker who owned it originally - who probably couldn't afford the luxury of losing his NCB etc? You can't just pick and choose morality - taking this kind of stance that it's ok not to do the right thing undermines any future pronouncements you may make in the future. -- Simon

Personally it would depend (like many other offerings here) on the value of the bike and possibly the personal attachment to it. I would either use the "a valuation threw up a possible problem" route with the Police, or I'd get rid of it - either by leaving it somewhere to get nicked (again!) or put a match to it. Ideally you want the bent bike out of circulation, rather than shifting the problem on to some other punter. Getting it nicked would just put it back into circulation (or as spares) so maybe setting it alight would be the best thing. The only problem then of course is getting done for insurance fraud... -- Antony

"Waterproof" the connector blocks under the tank with copper slip (a plausible innocent mistake) keep the tank and battery well topped up.

That doesn't quite fit. The original owner wouldn't benefit in any way now. The ideal outcome is Plod get a report, process and the new owner gets to ride it into the ground but can't sell it. -- Hog |
