I'm glad to hear you got your bike back. It could have been in Mexico and in 1000 pieces by now.

Good plan. OP, if you go all vigilante, your *** will end up in jail. Good luck.

Was this dick a local, that knew the cops?

You can go to the Justice of the Peace that has jurisdiction and file an "Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle" against this person. It will be up to the Judge to take the charge and issue a warrant for their arrest. You can also file a "Small Claims" against this person for damages to said vehicle.

Sounded like a local,the cop that found my ride at the other bar with this ******* taxied is *** back to his bike and let him ride away.Later that morning I talked to the cops LT. in charge and he said that he didnt see it as theft, his job was to recover only tge bike.I remember I wanted to punch him when he said " Take your bike No Harm No Foul" but him being a cop,well you know. It sucks as these cops at SPI put this dumdass on bullet and let him ride away, he could of killed himself or someone else.
