How long did they have it or was it stolen?

On a side note, I just added a SPY 5000 2-way alarm on mine with remote start and ignition kill. Also has a microwave sensor and it all works really nice. Cost like $100 off ebay new. (HINT HINT to all members out there)

ohgood

replace the ignition and tank filler lock, then mirror and ride it ?

park near gsx-r's or r6's from now on and yours won't be stolen again.

Quote from: ilarson007 on April 23, 2013, 12:20:29 PMThe person that was caught was not charged because, as the officer told me, in the county he was caught in they do not have enough evidence for the case to stick in court... He was on a STOLEN bike, but because he said "I didn't know it was stolen, someone else let me ride it" he gets off scott free?

This made me think of the movie Idiocracy where the guy is in a line going into prison and tells the guards he should be going out, not in -- and the guard say something along the lines of "Then you should be in that line, dumb@$$" and pushes him over to the line of people getting out.


Seriously... they come across someone on a multi-thousand dollar stolen vehicle and they let him wander away because 'someone else let him ride it'?

BRB, gonna go find 'someone else' to let me drive a fire truck. This should be fun [/sarchasm]

Yeah, it's nuts.  And because it was found in a different county, the cops in my city can't do anything about charges, and the other county isn't pursuing it because "there's not enough evidence."  The detective I just spoke with said that here, they'd still probably press some charge.

However, hopefully if no charges are pressed then I might be able to get the name to sue his ass off.

I am sure you might be able to do a civil suit, that suit might even show that he was responsible and criminal charges may follow. Of course you can't get blood from a stone but you can break it's knee caps with a hammer!!  ;)

It was stolen Wednesday night, and found on Sunday. Did more damage in 3 days then I did to the bike since September.

Sorry to hear about this. The cops just didn't feel like doing the work and booking the guy.  So you tell the "detective" that since they didn't want to do any detecting, suppose they won't do any when the thief winds up in the hospital with no kneecaps.

Criminal charges: must be beyond a reasonable doubt

Civil: preponderance of the evidence - 51% vs 49% wins.

You have a good shot in civil court (small claims) if you can link him to the bike.

A pellet gun I just got went through 3/4" plywood. You can fix the bike then do a  :icon_rolleyes: drive & shoot road trip  :icon_twisted:
Pellet gun is silent   :icon_rolleyes:

Yep. My .22 cal pellet rifle even has a suppressor on the end. It makes a BIG difference too

As much as I want to, I don't think I'll be doing any "5 finger justice."

Late on night, while watching Family Guy I read through the gun owners thread.
It warped my little brain.
