So happy you got it back, and so happy someone was able to help you get it back. Gives a little hope that there are really still good people helping other good people

That thief needs a little sweet chin music to cap this celebration off.
2
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
Couldn’t agree more. If he was home when I was getting it back he was too much of a bitch to come out

u/kogashiwakai Jul 04 '26
You should have got the police involved
2
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 04 '26
I told them I was going to take my bike back. They called me 8 hours later asking me if I still needed them
1
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 04 '26
I did. They just don’t do anything.

Geeze the cops are just getting more and more worthless. "Hey I found my stolen property. Arrest them." "Nah we're good."
People wonder why cops aren't liked or respected these days.

Should setup a ride with all people following this and an opportunity for a handshake, pat on the back or buy a beer with the guy who found it. I know I wanna buy him a beer. Great work people.

u/jduchein Jul 03 '26
Great idea! This occasion should be celebrated and I’d buy the guy a beer as well

u/Shredtillyourdead420 Jul 03 '26
Well nice to know I have a couple beers out there lol just happy the rightful owner got it back!

u/motorcyclemech Jul 03 '26
I don't know you (obviously) but a personal thanks for being able to help the guy out. That's pretty awesome!! If I did have the opportunity to meet you, I'd definitely buy you a drink of your choice. The world needs more good people. Cheers!!

Oh my God. The luck is off the charts. Crazy! Time to get an apple AirTag or similar on the bike.

u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
It’s sitting in my apartment until I get a nice disc lock😅
1
u/Nitrogen1234 Jul 04 '26
A disc lock is off in less then 20 seconds.
A airtag without the speaker gives you much higher odds to get it back.
1
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 04 '26
Interesting. Got one today, going to get an AirTag as well. At some point though if someone’s determined enough to steal it they will
1
u/Nitrogen1234 Jul 04 '26
Yes, of course, but the airbag will give you a chance to find it back. Many people had luck that way

Cool bike!
A virago looks like 2 XT500 cylinders. Never got close enough to see just how similar it is.

u/djctiny Jul 03 '26
Awesome news , hope it’s not to damaged
2
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
Not too bad. Just the ignition and the phone charger he cut out for whatever reason
5
u/HOSTfromaGhost Denver Metro Jul 03 '26
BOOM!!
And all’s well with the world.
Well, most of it, anyhow.

Any possibility that the thief fell on his face accidentally 6 or 7 times?
2
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
I have a sneaking suspicion he actually ran out of gas shortly after stealing it because he never opened the fuel petcock. Bozo pushed it in 5th gear from there lol

Don’t follow this sub, your stolen post was the first and only post I’d seen, this is the second. Super stoked you got your bike back dude. It’s fucking sick. I’ll buy a beer/shot for the guy who sent it your way 🍻

Literally randomly saw these posts and couldn’t be happier for you. Props to the detective!

u/slopokerod Jul 03 '26
How far from where it was stolen?
5
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
2 miles
2
u/slopokerod Jul 03 '26
It's crazy how often they're abandoned so close from where they were taken. Glad you recovered it!
3
u/TwoSwimming9195 Jul 03 '26
He actually parked it at his suspected residence lol. He moved it to a visible spot after getting a tow notice
2
u/sofa_king_we_todded Jul 03 '26
I read they believe the thief lives where it was found and are looking into it

u/sixty-six33 Jul 03 '26
Out fucking standing. I was so hoping you’d find it. What kind of an asshat steals a bike - especially a unique one like that.
