[bikeqld] Trek 7.3FX stolen from Toowong

[Michael Yeates]

There is another aspect to all this ... and that is the state 
regulations/act that requires secondhand dealers to confirm 
title/ownership BEFORE purchasing secondhand items.

This is supposed top reduce/prevent "fencing" of stolen property 
knowingly or otherwise.

Its a bit surprising then to discover the police seem to be not very 
supportive of the success of that aim ... ;-)

And as for the shop where you bought it, how would they do their 
stock control etc without recording of stock reference numbers?
