Tulsa Stolen Harley

We’re putting out the bat signal to all in the area to help recover this bike.

We truly hate to report these stories, but we’re hoping that maybe someone might have some information that might bring this treasured bike home. Doyle Potter of Oklahoma has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. While receiving treatment, some bottom-dwelling jerk stole his Harley, which parked behind the house.

The bike, pictured above, is a two-tone (red and silver) 2002 Harley-Davidson Roadster. His family told KTUL News that Potter’s motorcycle “was like a part of him.”

We know everyone can relate to that. So, if you are in the Tulsa, Oklahoma, area, or know anyone in that area, pass this story along. Any information can be reported to the Tulsa Police Department at (918) 596-9222.

“I think they’re a lowlife and they ought to be locked up,” Potter’s pal Joel Hull told KTUL about the Harley thief, and we couldn’t agree more.
