there's not much to tell how it happened.. it was parked in a parking lot that was well lit and the bike was locked up.. came out and it was gone.. they took the garage door opener from the saddle bag and my registration and ripped off my garage too.. Indianapolis, In.. cop working it said that since MotoGP 15 bikes had been lifted...
You really ought to post pics of the bike. Indy is only about a 4 hour drive from me. You never know who might stumble across it and recognize it from your pics.

Not trying to pour salt in your wound, by any means. However, there is a lesson to be learned for all reading the posts, though. Don't keep registration on the bike or your car for that matter. (Anything with an address) Keep it in your wallet... that way if the worst happens, as in this case, they don't have access to your address. (Yeah if you lose your wallet, it's a pain to get a copy, but better safe than sorry.)
i agree about the registration.. i will never leave it on a bike again.. i would of never guessed.. as far as pics of my crossbones, it doesnt matter.. the bike has either been parted out or its on its way out of the U.S.. what sucks is I traded my 2010 Fatbo LO for the 2010 Crossbones.. and it was that black ice denim.. a sort of blueish/purple color.. the only used ones i've found so far are all 08's and 09's.. and black...
Once they have your bike they don't need the registration to find out where you live, they have your plate and plate number which tells them all they need to know. Locks only keep honest people honest. If they want your bike bad enough, there is little you can do to stop them. Thieves are very patient, a lot of them do this **** kind of **** for a living. A thiefs number one enemy is noise or an alarm. Dogs and weapons are a very close second. In Texas when I lived there someone tried to steel my bike 2 nights in a row, back to back, now that's BALLSY!! The ONLY reason they failed is because someone came home at night after work, pulled in the parking lot and they dropped it and ran.

Have to disagree, kind of, on that. You can't just walk into the DMV or go online with a plate number and just ask for the address. You have to show reasonable need.... Most states have privacy laws for that very reason. Example: Guys who are stalking the cute girl driving by and so on. I highly doubt most thieves would risk detection by making the request.
