Tourist's delight as she's reunited with 'pride and joy' motorbike stolen in Edinburgh

A delighted German tourist has thanked police after she was reunited with her "pride and joy" motorcycle which was stolen in Edinburgh.

Uschy Schneeclaus was devastated after her lime green Triumph bike, nicknamed "Lady Tink", was stolen on June 2.

It was taken from the guest house of a car park she was staying at on Hampton Terrace during the first night of her holiday.

She wasn't the only German tourist to have suffered a bike theft in Edinburgh in June, as Michael Kuhn also lost a BMW he had owned for 19 years.

Fortunately police in Edinburgh recovered stolen bikes on June 19, and were among them.

On Thursday, Police Scotland's north west Edinburgh division shared a picture of Uschy taking possession of her bike again at the Two Wheels Edinburgh garage.

They said: "Delighted tourist thanks police as she is reunited with her pride and joy after her stolen motorcycle was recovered by local officers."

Police say their inquiry into the theft of Uschy's bike is ongoing and anyone with information can call 101.
