Presumably these are all confiscated bikes of some sort of another. Most of them have yellow labels tied to the handlebars. Probably illustrates why its best to take extra care of your bike in Longsight, or it might end up in in this compound via the exploits of someone else ;-)
I assumed all stolen bikes ended up in the canal. Do you know if the police auction these off??

ReplyDeleteI agree with jim, They auction most stuff off
