Default they found my bike!

so couple months ago, I made a post here asking for forums members' help on finding my 06 sporty that was stolen in Tucson AZ. Most of the replies were doubting my story and telling me my story don't make any sense, but there were a couple of riders near me that were kind enough to put the word out to keep an eye out for my bike to their friends. I'm very happy to report, about an hour ago they found my bike! They chased down the guy and he dropped the bike in a neighborhood and ran so they weren't able to catch the guy. From the looks of it, he may have dropped the bike a couple times haha its not as pretty as it was when I lost it. Hell, I don't care, I'd rather not have this guy's life ruined as long as I got my bike back. Anyways, just wanted to thank those of you that sincerely cared and wanted to help out!

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I would definitely want this guys life ruined. If your story was legit then why wouldn't you want the ***** to be caught. If they didn't catch him that means he's still out there stealing peoples s***. Pics of the bike after or your story is complete b/s.

Exactly! I think this guy would rather have his bike back then get the guy that stole it. I understand that you guys can't understand that, but I can empathize with the OP for sure. I would rather have my bike and no bad guy than no bike and the bad guy.

Yeah, I think I would want the thief to pay for the theft, forever. I'm not real forgiving when it comes to people stealing my stuff.

I think it makes sense to be glad his bike is back. Of course I remember when someone "found" my 8-track after it was stolen out of my truck, then sold it back to me after they "got it back for me". Cheap, for a lesson in the rules of the street for a 21 yo kid.
