I had my 87 Yamaha 600 FZ stolen out of a parking lot. Left it overnight and caught a ride home with my girlfriend(now wife) because of a severe thunderstorm. Next morning it was gone. Had to wait 5 weeks for insurance to pay off. After a month I got a loan and bought a 74 Monte Carlo. Cops found it right before pay off. Damn, now I had 2 loans. Bike was beat to hell. Brand new rear tire was no longer round. It had a flat surface all the way around with no tread and lots of cord showing. Every piece of fiberglass was busted, tank dented, seats torn, gas tank lock broken, etc, etc. Came within $36 dollars of totaling it out and they wouldn't do it. Sold it for $500. Cop told me that they pulled the kid over for the headlights being out due to a bad hotwire job. 16 year old kid then tried to scuffle with the police. Broke the one cops glasses and he told me after that it was "game on" and that they got a few in for me too. At the arraignment his momma told me he was a good boy and didn't know it was stolen. I paid $6000 for it, I wonder what that 16 year old paid for it since he didn't know it was stolen.
