Unless you have the serial number posted in this forum, there's nothing you can do- legally. You see, posting the serial number somewhere where there's a timestamp on it would connect you to the bike. Pictures won't do unless you have the picture of the serial number with you. Did Tim even file a lespu report? Lawyers in the house, what do you think? How can one prove that the stolen bike is his/hers?
Everyone, start posting your serial numbers on the appropriate thread!

its really very hard to prove unless you have the serial number of your bike frame. just like stolen cell phones, you should know the IMEI number of your cellphones.

Chances are the person who stole the bike immediately disposed of it either as a whole or in part. I smart thief wouldn't want to be caught with the bike in his possession.
It's possible that whoever rode Timothy's bike in UP may have been the buyer. However, if confronted, the guy can lead you back to the thief.

you can try befriending the old man and then ask him unintentionaly about his bike or things that can link the bike from where it came from, if the old guy does not cooperate, put him in a sack and throw him in the lagoon!!! ;D ;D ;D

So what to do now?? does the stolen bike reported to the lespu or to the barangay? the lespu or the barangay blotter will serve as a basis ,if the tim's giant prove to be positive, for filing the anti-fencing law or PD1612. possession of stolen goods is a prima facie evidence in anti fencing law. if you ever have another chance to see it again, try to approach the guy or idscreetly followed it and immediately called up the owner . you can also seek assistance to the nearby lespu station.

supposed the old man doesn't want to give you any info regarding his bike or supposed after interrogating the old man we found out that its another bike and that we are wrong. can he file charges against us?

it happened to me before when i lost my bike, somebody from cartimar called me up and informed me that he spotted a blue giant xtc infront of ross bike shop. then together with my friends we immediately proceeded to the place. upon arrival i showed them the picture of my stolen bike that looks the same with him. he allowed us to check the serial no. and it differs only to the last digit. then we apologized to the guy for inconvinience and the acknowledged it. with regards to your question, the old man can file a case of incriminatory machination if you force yourself to in identifying the bike and proved you wrong. so be careful if you are not 100% sure. all you have to do if you are sure, try to acquaint to the old man's peers , thre you can acquire information on the background of the bike on when did he bought it and where.

1 suggestion pala when you stencil your bike serial no. as we finish the stencil on a clear paper, make another one using a page of newspaper prefferably the headline page with the date intact. this would establish a time stamp on our ownership of the bike. keep it on your files and when the need arises, it can help us prove how long we have owned the rig.
