    Now find these guys and put them in jail for a few years.

    I’d be happy enough getting the bikes, truck and trailer back intact and leave payback to karma. Can be a lot more efficient and effective than our criminal justice system

    More than just a few tools are missing. At least one motor, and a whole bunch of parts are gone.

    The one good thing about most criminals when it comes to thefts like this Is that the majority of them are pretty ____ stupid and haven’t got the common sense god gave their pets ! Even better though in this case is the fact that the bikes etc are intact

    Great news and probably some insurance company will pay for the missing stuff less deductible.

    Great to hear they got the bikes back , it is a shame they lost some parts and tools . Next time sleep in the truck with a 44 magnum!!! that will fix that.

    Glad you got your bikes back! I had my Softtail stolen from my hotel on the last day of bike week in Daytona in 03, tell ya what it really sucked, never did recover it. Be happy those idiots only took parts, not the bikes!

    Seattle is a major shipping port. Good thing they were found before they were loaded on a ship and exported some place.

    Recovered the next day! That’s pretty cool.

    Screw Karma – these thieves deserve a little ‘street justice’.

    So there is still a motor and some tools missing. Sucks, but crap, they got back the bikes and the trailer – that’s huge!
