My Electric Bike has been stolen.?

I live in Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.
What do thieves do with stolen bikes? Where do they sell them? I have phoned all the local Bike shops just in case someone brings it in. It was locked and chained to the bike stand.

Where would they sell it?

They sell it to buy drugs

They either try to sell them to someone's use, sell them for scrap metal or use them for their own pleasure. I would call the police as well.

its either been swap for drugs or strip down for parts for another bike,,or been spraypainted and another id has been put on it so they can use it,hope you were insured...

They'll probably take it to the next town and sell it there.
I bet it ends up here in Cambridge. Bike theft is absolutely epidemic here.

Sorry to hear it was nicked.
