The Return Of Happiness

Good news!

The police called and told me a guy was arrested yesterday riding my motorcycle. He was on the Stony Brook college campus. It's unclear if he was a student or visitor.

The bike was impounded and is being held as evidence. I hope to get it back this week. I'm praying it wasn't damaged too badly. At the least the ignition wiring had to have been stripped because the thief didn't have a key.

They found the guy when a routine license-plate search reported the bike as stolen. What kind of half-wit steals a motor vehicle and doesn't change the license plate? They teach you that on the first day of Auto Theft 101.

Honestly, I'm relieved. I was starting to suffer from rider-withdrawal. It's is a real, debilitating ailment. Ask any biker.

    I just read the blog about it. Thank goodness it did not take long to find it and i hope the damage is minimal. A lot of bikes never get found here.

      I had abandoned hope. Stolen vehicles are rarely found here, too.

    Thank goodness it's been found. You must be relieved. It's horrible having things stolen. I hope it's repairable and that you'll soon be whizzing about on it again.

    That is so cool! Really, what were the chances you'd ever see it again? I mean, you live in NYC, right. And at least you know it's ride-able.
