My wife informed me that she had read on Facebook that a neighbor's motorcycle was stolen. He's my insurance agent, by the way. I called him up to check on it, to make sure the same thing doesn't happen to me. I was hoping to use the line: "I hope you have good insurance." :laughing
Turns out that a shop in the area mistook his bike for some other one that they were supposed to pick up to take in for service. It was only gone for an hour or two, then they brought it back and apologized profusely. No damage or anything.
He mentioned to me that he never uses the steering lock, which might have prevented it from going missing in the first place. Lately I've been in the habit not bothering to use the steering lock on mine as well, since I never park it outside of my garage longer than it takes to eat at a restaurant or something similar. I'll probably get back in the habit of locking the steering when not in my garage.
Anybody else have stories of bikes "stolen" due to mistaken identity, then returned?
