What a great group - Good luck getting the bike back!! I wouldn't want
to own a bike with that history, for one. Bad karma.
My other thought is that if the seller is an actual business - you
could bring a suit for conversion or other torts. . .
BTW, I'm still looking for Manny's bike to show up here in Ventura and/
or Los Angeles. . . .I know he's North but you never know . . .
All my family's early bikes (1978 Raleigh, 1980 Mongoose, 1987
Raleigh, and 1988 Ross) were lost due to theft. . .so I'm sensitive to
this topic.

Did Manny ever get his new bike from Rivendell? I'd love to know what
he got.

Well I hope the frame ends up back in Taylor's (the rightful owner's) possession- definitely positive karma balance in that.

In any event, the Seller will have some 'splaining to do. When you
are a re-seller and you don't ask for the provenance of the goods you
are buying, you have a much harder time proving that you didn't "wink,
wink" know that the goods were stolen. Ebay has a particular method
to follow - Taylor should make sure that local law enforcement deals
with Ebay per their policy - the re-seller may not be allowed to sell
on Ebay anymore at a minimum; may face jail time at the maximum; and,
should be forced to, at least, hand the proceeds of the sales (plus
the cost to fully replace) over to Taylor.

I got to see Manny's new bike last night. I'll post to the Diablo S24O thread to tell my version of the story
