Stolen ?

[HemiDart]

Hi I need some help from someone in the LA area. I bought a 2005 Ridgeback in Long Beach in early october 2015,an old friend a swede that has moved to LA was going to help me whit pickup and shipping to Sweden. He says I will have the bike in Sweden in early December. But on dec 08 he calls and told me it is stolen and he has reported it to the police. Now the bike is for sale at craiglist,

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/mcy/5416307235.html Is there any way to check if this bike is reported stolen? I guess I was stupid trusting an old friend.. Ingemar

Tell him to send you a copy of the police report, and then report this add. Do you have any pics of the bike you thought you bought?

 

[HemiDart]

Yes it is the bike on the craiglist link

I wonder if Curtis can help you out, there has to be someone in that area on the forum here. email Curtis and ask him

 

[HemiDart]

Is Curtis someone in the LA area?

 

[HMAN]

Sounds like you need to contact the Orange County PD. Email them a copy of your paperwork and the craigslist ad too.
And yes, Curtis is the owner of WSW in Cali. He may have other ideas.....

Do you have the original Title in Your possession?

 

[liferider]

Well, I called him and asked all about the bike. He say's he has Title in hand and is going to send me vin # in a couple of hrs. You better contact Curtis and the CHP! FAST!!!!!

Set this guy up and get him arrested. Make sure the VIN numbers match. You have a limited window but you can do it. The license plates 21E3210 are identical in the picture you posted here and the craigslist bike for sale. Do you have confirmation of money exchanging hands (bank or wire transfer, anything)? If the VIN #'s match your title and bill of sell in hand, Call LAPD West Wilshire immediately & report it stolen, tell them you know exactly where it is and make an appointment with this guy to "go over" the bike you want to buy. Maybe the COPS will even help with this. Good luck let us know what's going on..
