I wonder what the statute of limitations is for grand theft auto. You
filed a report. The police talked to the owner? The bike was found at
the location. Sounds like pretty good evidence of theft.. Or at least
lying to the police in an investigation...? And yeah, not worth the
hassle or the karma..

I had a similar thing happen a few years ago. A good friend lost his
job, then another, then his wife left him. He ended up losing his house
and his car during that time as well and needed transportation to both
get to his part time manual labor job and to go to interviews. I have an
older Buell S1 White Lightning motorcycle that is really just a toy for
me, so I lent it to him. He finally got another good job and told me he
was taking it in to get new tires and a new head gasket as it started
leaking a bit while he was driving it. Fair enough. He had a shop come
pick it up and several months later I asked him about the bike. He was
still struggling financially and the bill was about $1000 but was too
embarrassed to tell me. I told him to just tell me where it was and I
would go get it. When I went to the shop, they denied having it, or
having ever had it. He went with me and they still denied it. I filed a
police report but nothing ever came of it. 3 years later, I get a letter
in the mail asking me to release my claim on the title as they wanted to
sell the bike. A new owner of the shop had come in and "found" the bike
and had a buyer for it. I got the bike back, but someone had laid it
down, broken the tail lights off and messed up the carburetor. But, I'm
happy to have my bike back if for nothing else than the sentimental
value I have for it as I bought it with cash off the showroom in 1998
after completing my first international engineering contract. Sometimes,
things just go your way.

it is like having the cocaine factory next door to the addict.

I wish we had a Richie Bros around here, pretty much worth
traveling for.

Talking about AnimalFarm and my former relationship with
Beehive, made me think about sharing the following:
Some of you know some of the details of the last 5 years of
my life.
I had a very very nice settlement, cannot talk about it due
to the secrecy agreement I signed. But there are a few
things that have happened since the settlement that I can
talk about.
The three young fellows, guys I hired, guys I gave equity
to, that saw an opening to not only throw me out the window
but to keep me out forever.... all got fired last summer.
Then this week, I discovered their former employer is suing
them for embezzlement. I would not have wished any of that
on them but I do still have somewhat fresh knife wounds in
my back.
When they threw me out, they decided to sub everything out
rather than do their own construction. So they took most of
the collection of toys I had assembled over many years to
Richie Brothers.
Last week we saw a fiber figure 8 machine for sale. $700
Turns out to be the very one I bought off of ebay in my
previous life. The guy that bought it got it as part of a
lot and never used it. It has some fiber on it. Still has
a Beehive logo on the side...
This morning I spliced a pigtale onto a strand of the 72
count microfiber and shot it with the OTDR.... 6500 feet of
good fiber came with it. $3250 worth of fiber....
Sure glad my youngest son is vigilant in reading the KSL
classifieds.
Some days I feel like a modern day Job. (as in Jobe, from
the Old Testament). That story did have a good ending you
know...
