Sorry for the delay. Haven't been home much. The dude they caught with the bike is looking at grand theft. I guess they aren't gonna nab him on the B and E on my truck because he's claiming he bought the bike from a black guy named Jackson. (It was a white dude that was on it and the truck was wiped clean of prints.) They key was locked in my truck. That's why there was no ignition damage.

When I went to pick it up the cop had the kid in the car. When he asked me what I wanted to do, I told him I'd drop all charges if he drove around the block for a minute and let me beat the piss out of him. He actually thought about it for a minute too. The dude told the cops he wasn't aware something was shady despite the fact that he bought a heavily modded bike for 2 grand with no title, plate or registration.

As far as security goes, I have about ten feet of tugboat chain running through my GSXR and my V-Max that's chained to a 400 pound steel garage sink that's bolted to the floor for now. And my windowless truck is still parked in front of the door. Thanks to everyone that was keeping a look out while it was gone...

Thanks for the update.

As I said before, you're a very lucky guy. I've seen hundreds of these threads for cars and bikes over the years and you're the first I've seen get his back in tact.

Trust me...I know. Theft is getting real bad around Tampa Bay. Three people were home at my house and they still managed to pull this one off. Pretty bold considering I sleep with my 12 gauge next to my bed.
