my seven year old sons’ dirt bike was stolen from our motorcycle trailer Sunday night between 0100 & 0600?
at 0600 I discovered it missing. I called the police and they took a report. They asked if I would prosecute and I said I would. The police officer said it was a class four felony. I asked if they were going to come over and take prints and they said no. Knowing that the motorcycle had a nail in the front tire; they would probably have to take it in to get fixed, so I visited every motorcycle shop within a five mile Radius of my house to give them a heads up on the stolen bike. they were all pretty open to help me out. I have searched the whole neighborhood. One neighbor said she thought she saw it in the back of a pick-up truck and gave me the licence plate number; I'm not sure how to run a plate? Is there anything I'm missing? I feel helpless; I'm not sure the police have time to look for it. maybe they will stumble upon it. I feel guilty; It's my fault I know!!

How big a bike is this as some household insurance will cover a motorbike if the report states that it was under 49cc. So if it was a little 50cc you could get it written up as 49cc and claim under household insurance depending upon the company. But really transporting bikes you should always get an unbreakable chain and chain the bikes as well as otherwise it is too easy to steal them.
You can go up to the local DMV and ask for the info…it may cost ten bucks or something like that.
Hey. I’m really sorry about your sons dirtbike. It’s frustrating to know there are people out there who will steal things instead of saving the money to buy it themselves. The same thing happened to my boyfriend. He always put his dirtbike his the garage and then one night he didn’t, and it was stolen…while we were awake. He filed a police report but nothing came back until 6 months later. The bike had been bought and sold 3 times and the motor was gone. They caught the guy stealing all the bikes. He’s in jail now for 12 years….not just for theft but for attempted murder. Scary huh?
My advice to you is the same thing my boyfriend done. Put an ad out pretending to me someone else and say you’re looking for ‘this kind of bike’ (your sons bike). When you get phone calls pretend as if you dont know much about bike and do not bring up that your sons bike was stolen. Check out the bike and if the bike ends up being yours tell the person you’re interested in the bike and go home and call the police. Also be sure that you ask for a bill of sale…if he doesn’t have it then thats another reason to suspect. Even if the guy selling it isn’t the person who stole it the cops will track him down and with any luck you’ll get the bike back. The only reason my boyfriend didn’t get his back was because the guy who stole it was very very slick…like a professional con…and even then, they found him a few months later.
Best of Luck to you and the little guy.
