Good riddance to the thief. I fugging hate thieves. Saw two White-trash, tweeker-looking dudes pretty much toss a used Honda Trail 110 into the back of an old truck and take off right at the open entrance of a cycle dealer. Immediately thought they had stolen it before my eyes. Didn't catch their plate# before they left. Went into the shop and asked about the bike. Yep...missing, and they called the police.

Yes, I profiled them. Isn't that the ****, Keith? Well, isn't it?

If the dead guy stole the bike...good riddance. I hope the bike was insured.

They also got a Blue 2009 CVO Springer softtail and a corvette. The corvette was found wrecked down the road from where it was taken.

Leads me to believe the rider was not the thief, they were stolen from about an hour away from where this wreck occurred.


Just heard from the owners daughter on facebook they just talked to the highway patrol, it's most likely his.

If he was indeed the thief, I hope it hurt.
