Go check it out and run the vin.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probly a duck.
That add seemed to be particularly *duck-like*.

If not stolen from its rider, then stolen from its lienholder, yeah.

 

[Johndicezx9]

Could be bait for a sting by the Police.

 

[Brokenlink]

Hmmm, wonder if I should go look at it?

(stupid question disclaimer/donning flame suit)

What crimes would they be looking for on the buyer's side?

 

[295566]

Possession of stolen property (assuming they can "prove" the person in possession knew it was stolen)

 

[gixxerjeff]

No.
Seriously.

 

[Johndicezx9]

... and not having “paperwork”, and you knowing that, is problematic when saying “I didn’t know...”

bait for who, the buyer? That would be entrapment, so definitely not a law enforcement operation.

I was wondering the same?

If a person knowingly receives/purchases stolen property they have committed a crime (496PC). It would be hard to fulfill those elements from a craigslist purchase without some damning evidence (like text messages or whatever).

Easy charge for taking possession of something known stolen. Then when they're serving the warrant they find other stolen bikes, rinse and repeat. It's good.

An old bike without papers being sold for parts is automatically stolen? Great detetctive work Sherlock.

Looks like a bike that is, or could easily be, running. That and a flimsy story about lost paper work makes we wonder Mr Watson.

 

[295566]

The Yoshi slip on it has is worth his asking price for the whole bike. So yeah, pretty suspicious.

 

[madsen203]

This makes the most sense. Probably difficult to repo a motorcycle that could easily be tucked away vs. a vehicle generally limited to a driveway, street, or garage for parking.

I just want a good deal on an FZ1 that isn't stolen. No buggering required.
