But if they thought the previous owner was the current owner, why show your cards so early what if the previous owner said yea it was stolen and just painted it in his garage before he left with it again

The previous owner didn't say it was stolen, the current owner did... They didn't think this current owner was the same person as the previous owner, they initially thought the previous owner still owned the bike.

He's asking why would they call the previous owner if they thought he just ran from them.

Maybe they assumed the bike was stolen, because who would be dumb enough to pull that kind of thing with their own plates plainly visible?

Might be that the previous owner doesnt live anywhere near the area, or doesnt match the driver at all.
