Bike Description
1962 250cc Greeves Sports bike. Not in working order as it was waiting restoration at the time of theft. In fair condition but rust in placesTheft Description
The thieves had sawed past 2 locks and ransacked the garage once inside, though the only item they took was the rare 1962 250cc Greeves motorcycle. The elderly owner, who prefers not to identified, has lived in Old Buckenham since 1980 had kept the bike in a secluded garage not visible from the road. Very few people knew it was there but a few people had offered to buy it. Our feeling, because of what was taken and how it was broken into, is that it was targeted. They knew what they were after and that it was in a secluded spot.Recovery Description
An anonymous buyer brought the bike then realised he had seen a story in local news paper about a similar bike being stolen. They checked with the police (Something on the lines of "I think I've brought a stolen bike") they investigated and turned out it was the same bike. Looks like some parts were sold off separately but 80% of the bike has been recovered.
