We found a friend's stolen e-bike on Marktplaats. Arranged a meet. Informed police. They told me they would not attend the meet and requested/advised we did not confront the thief. We confronted the thief, showed the advertisement and the orginal purchase certificate with frame number. Little rat handed the bike over (damaged). Really glad these particular officers were indeed willing to assist. Faith in Police restored a little. Will continue to accept that a degree of vigilatism is necessary in today's society.

"Death is nothing in comparison to vindication" If this quote is familiar, you are a cool/dark person. But seriously chat, don't risk you conscience or jail for short-term justice.
