Just got word from Buck Carson. The four bikes have been recovered at the Port of Tacoma! All of the bikes are intact, but riffled through. All the spares, tools and luggage are still missing.

I don't suspect eBay cares what is sold on their site. They have no knowledge/history of items sold there. Their sole purpose is an outlet and to collect fees upwards of 20% (for non-volume sellers) + 4% for Paypal - all for never touching or handling any items. They will assist police by providing listing details and info of the owner's selling account and buyer's account if contacted by police (only - not by the victim). I hope all the scoots, tools, etc are found before . . . . . . . William

Thought it would be worth a try...

Saddest part is people's lifetime work and livlihoods being robbed from them. The feeling of having a motorcycle stolen is like none other. I had my motorcycle stolen from inside a locked garage in 1971; felt gutshot for days. I'm glad we have a worldwide brotherhood. Short of aggressive and competent policework, the fellowship of the brotherhood is the best chance for getting these bikes, tools and parts back to their owners. Very sorry to hear this happened to Jon, he has been a great help to me with my 27 JD project.

Please be true and that all scoots are safe!!

UPDATE 9/24: Police apparently have recovered the truck and trailer, but it was emptied of the bikes, spare parts, tools, etc. The search for those continues.

no such luck, the hunt for the bikes continues

Please be true and that all scoots are safe!!

I think it will be up to the owners to scour Ebay for their parts..they will be the ones that can really ID them.

[Steve Swan]

Has or can ebay be notified to be on the lookout for parts to these bikes ? Obviosuly, if they were to come across ebay, they would be in very good condition, even if all the paint was stripped off and i.d. numbers were changed. i'm certain the owners of these bikes know these machines inside and out and can identify their parts by work that was done on the parts to make them cannonball ready.

[duffeycycles]

If it is like most historical thefts the cases will not appear with the numbers that were on them-look at Ebay and see how many numbers jobs are sold every week-The Japanese and Aussies have been suspected but these bikes in pieces could be sold anywhere-including USA-The fact that many European countries don't need titles is easier than Japan to import
I hope they are caught

I'm not a big user of the social media outlets (Facebook, Instagram, etc.); however, after seeing how they were all blitzed by everyone (proving everyones sincere concern for our passion); I sure hope they turn up quick leads with the authorities and fast apprehension of the thieves! This incidence has made me think of hiding a Low Jack on my scoots!! Best of luck Shelby!

Really sorry for everyone's loses, devastating. Bad thing about the social media outlets, can also work against finding the scum. They are probably reading and following these same forums and other outlets watching to see our reactions. Sure hope everyone recovers their items, can't imagine. Best of luck.

Shelby, Congrats with your recovery and I wish your mother all the best with a speedy recovery! I hope "Krama" is paying attention here and shows these thieves how much a "b*tch" she can be!

Steve, Great point noting vehicle vin #'s!
