Oof. Again super relatable, the only time I've had a bike I'd bought new stolen, thankfully the shop had written down the serial number (I ...might take a hint and write all mine down this weekend?).

Hopefully somebody can give you good advice if BPD isn't responsive in terms of making sure it doesn't end up going to auction. Mine had been stolen out of my house as part of a burglary so they came and took the report but never confirmed they did anything with the serial numbers I'd given them. Between that and the bike having been a tragic money pit, as soon as the insurance check came through I'd started planning the bike I'd want whether or not the old one was ever found. As it turns out, it wasn't and it's all for the best.
