Not mine but wondered if you we're signed up with CW Motorcycles rider club? If so might be worth posting on there or giving them a call and asking someone to stick it on their news digest

Why have you still got it? Didn't the police take it off you?

I think most BMW Club members are to old to have Jim fixing anything for them, already in their 40's around that era

Re found property unless it is a firearm, something illegal (drugs etc) , readily identifiable ie a wallet and cards a sum of cash or the finder refuses to hang on to it then it is NOT seized by Police.
It is retained by the finder and unless the loser reports it to the Police the finder gets to retains it.

It sounds like a good reason for putting ID stickers under all bike luggage cases (just in case).

I'll take it of the owner can't be found.

Cant be too early for first dibs.

Seized?
Simply handed in would more likely see it's return to its rightful owner. Why would they not contact the police to see if it had been handed in?
Certainly the first place I'd think of checking if something fell off my vehicle, not random Internet forums...

Anyway, it was a roundabout way of asking drunkpig "you have reported it to the police haven't you?" without directly asking him "are you that stupid to have not reported it to the police?" but...

As a moderator I expect you to have more faith in the power of the forum

This looks like a Forum Speed Test opportunity how long to find the owner

Fair comment AdamA. Weekend visit to the cop shop for me then. (no stop over I hope). I mean well. Hello

So you've had it for how long without reporting the find to the obvious people??

I'd be pretty unchuffed if it were mine too...
