More good advice. Thanks guys! If I ultimately have to hand over the bike then I will certainly want to be as creative as possible about what gets handed back

OK, an email has now been sent to the main Ducati dealer to see if they will confirm what date they bought it and from who (I know the date they sold it). Also, just sent an email to HPI notifying then of the situation and reserving the right to make a claim if necessary.

I'm really grateful for all the feedback and am now looking forward to polishing off one of the last remaining decent bottles of red wine in my stock.

Be a shame if you had started a winter strip this week, and if the worse came to the worse all you could hand back was a box of various parts that may make up 75% of a bike

Keith, did we meet at Nellys the other week? You were picking up a wheel spacer?

Hope it all works out okay mate.

I'm rather hoping that the reason the theft didn't come to light for so long because someone is trying to pull some kind of fraud (and hopefully the police/insurance company will spot it)!

It definately wasn't me at Nellys the other week as the last time I visited him was last year.

Thanks Andy and everyone else. That bottle of wine really hit the mark and I (finally) feel relaxed! It has to be said that having people around that are willing to spend the time to help other people having a rough day is really great! At the end of the day its people that matter not inanimate lumps of metal!

Keith. I have been in this situation B4, and the deed of title had passed to the insurance company who paid out on the claim!
Up shot was, Five years down the line after they had paid out, they let me keep the bike and i had to pay an admin fee! £25.... mav
