An honest seller would have no reason to quibble.

But I think the point of my suggestion was made.. if it's an honest seller.. they should be happy to record the transaction. Again though on the other hand, they may well have bought it innocently and are now selling it on as such. Who knows how many hands it has passed through if originally stolen.
I guess it's the risk you take. It's your conscience - not ours

Just bear in mind that if you choose to buy the bike, and it is discovered later that it is stolen, you can be charged with receiving stolen goods. Not knowing is unfortunately no defence.

My fleet of about 6 bikes, at any given point at least 3 or 4 of which are in some state of disassembly/reassembly. My recently purchased 1980s Kenevans, and arguably the most valuable frame in my collection has no serial number.

I think you might overestimate the readership of these forums. Not all 'Nag owners (or thieves for that matter) are sad 'net dwelling forum lurkers... ahem.. like us.Isabella wrote:... just thought on here would be a perfect place to be sure no one is missing her out of their shed. ...
Go on.. you know you want it.

Did you buy online ?
If so where was the bike advertised ?
Do you have a copy of the ad or some photos of the bike ?
How did you pay for it ?
What delivery company lost the bike ?
Just asking these questions to see if you've been had by a online scam.
Occasionally you'll find expensive road bike ads in online classifieds that are scams and you don't see many bikes for sale like the one you've had stolen.
I've read a few stories where people have lost a lot of money buying expensive bikes that didn't exist.
I did see this frameset that fits the description on ebay in mid April but it was only for a frameset not a full bike, it sold for a bit over $1400 whereas you said that you bought a complete bike for nearly $4000.
