So today I got to watch the sheriff’s department execute a warrant on the way to recovery of the little yellow Honda Z50 and the Briggs Go Kart! Two perps in custody, and a lead on the Hodaka. Got a number of other bits and pieces, and keeping my fingers crossed.

More updates if we get them soon.

Must have been somewhat gratifying to see the Sheriffs arrest the guys.

Lets hope you get everything recovered!

Ha ha ha ,serves the foookerz right.
Good to see your cops do some thing but UK cops do rock all ,not even come around to your house.
great to see you have got most of your gear back mako,because as time goes by with no sign of the bikes,the less chance you have of getting them back.
Good on you.

So today I got a call from the person who had purchased the XR70 and due to my Facebook Stolen Bike post. They bike they had bought with a promised title in the mail ;) had the same unique red grips (stock are black!).

Long story short, the little XR is back home mostly complete with some damaged plastics. All else intact.

Having pictures, serials, unique features in your bike documented is critical to recovery.

One Hodaka to go . . .

This story is inspiring. These days when someone gets bikes stolen, especially dirt bikes, 99.9% of the time it seems they are gone forever. I really didn't have much hope that you'd be able to find ANY of the bikes and get them back much less several of them! And hopefully all of them!

I know! I should probably buy a lottery ticket at this point.

I am very happy for you. Let's pray that the Hodaka shows up and the baddies get apprehended. Please keep us informed. Best of luck!
