Can't believe it but Providence PD then Pawtucket PD call about 10pm last night saying found my bike in Pawtucket and it's at tow shop. Pawtucket cop told me of course ignition gone (I found ignition on ground here), at turn signal broken and scratches one side. Not bad damage wise so not going to claim insurance. Said they found in a back yard but no arrests.

sweet might not have made an arrest but at least you got your bike back with minimal damage
Nice - check it good for hidden damage tho! Who knows what they did to it.
Did they say why no arrests?
Recovered in a backyard and no arrests?
This would be why our society has so many problems.
I would suggest shooting an email to the local prosecutor. That seems really stupid to me. Otherwise, I suggest sueing the homeowner for damages to the bike and then see how it shakes out from there.
Just suggestions. I would proably just be happy to get my bike back and forget about the whole deal too. Although I would probably slit the tires of every car in the carport that night.

Same thing happened when I recovered my stolen car. It was in the thief's driveway, but the cops had a good point. No way they could prove they did it...joyrider could have dumped it there to cover their tracks. Same with this. No way to prove they stole it, or the actual thief dumped the bike in someone else's backyard and made off. That's why suing won't make a difference either.

It costs way too much money nowadays to send peole to jail. Officers are more encouraged to write traffic tickets than to bring people in.
Yea, that does make sense, the first couple of times.

Congrats! Happy for you! :wav:
Tow place wasn't open yesterday so today will go look and have towed to my house if only those things wrong should be able to order parts and do myself. If only ignition cylinder and turn signal looked up and couple hundred $ for parts. anything more extensive will tow to stealership.
Will/could they not take fingerprints to get the proof?
