I've just spoken to the insurers again who have been chasing this round all day.
It looks like my hunch was wrong it may have been the repair man in the middle. The people at the end have lots of photo's of it being collected, delivered, stored etc and they are a Nationwide storage/recovery firm who don't take things apart, the only tools they have are to disconnect batteries of cars and bikes + they are taking the complaint very seriously.
At least it's progress, i'm not involving the police at this stage that's for the insurers to take up as there the ones that have been taken for a ride by one of their sub contractors. If it doesn't get resolved this week then i'll ring the the law myself.
And Dave i'm keeping them lotto number to myself
