I voted to sneak a look in his shed, but if he's a druggie its prob. sold already. Also, how about getting someone else to sneak a look in his shed, and then leaving it to the police ? This has happened to me before, but I made the mistake of letting the thieves know that I knew, and of course by the time the police arrived the bike had completely disappeared.
Honestly, What would you do

I bet he sold it to some drug runner in Baltimore and it will soon be headed to Africa :scream:

a buddy had a cr 500 stolen out of his garage once. he put an ad in the paper about it. i laughed to myself, like that would work. a lady called him a few days later and said someone was riding a dirt bike in the field behind her house. my buddy went over there and it was his bike. it had been painted all black and the pipe was smashed. he said he kicked the guy in the nuts and told him that he was going to pay for the damage or he would call the sheriff... the guy paid for the damage.

I like option #1. Along those lines, get his phone # and address and start harrassing him. Prank phone calls, letters saying... "I know what you did last month!" along those lines.
Remember, drug dealers & users are very paranoid to begin with. You'll just feed that a little more, and send him over the edge! :p
If he doesn't see repercussions from stealing the CR500, what's to stop him from taking the pretty new thumper, too?

My bad for not seeing this sooner, sorry to hear it PK and congrats on the new ride, like you didn't plan that! The idea of placing a call in or sending word that the PD is on the way may work, but better yet, get with the PD and tell them your bike was seen there, if he's on probation or parole, he has to let them in and look around. That way you can circumvent (that means work around, Milk ;)) any further issues with this guy. Even though he's a dirtbag, it's not worth sitting up all night watching your stuff, he's an idiot and won't think straight when he's tweaked. Put the heat on without him knowing it. Then, when it comes time, you can whisper in his ear "what we're you thinking" and you can walk tall with that bloody tire iron when you go to breakfast! :)
Buy a beater bike out of the newspaper and wire the kill switch to a second ignition coil attached to a spark plug mounted inside the gas tank Leave it sitting out and wait for the fireworks. When the thief goes to run the bike and shut it off, it should make enough splatter that the modification would be destroyed.
Seriously though, I recently saw an advertisement for a wrist watch sized GPS tracking devise for children to trace them if they are missing. They retail for about $400 but probably sell on the open market for less or will soon as other companys build them. Place one of these hidden on your next bike and you should be able to find it within 30 meters of the signal the next time it turns up missing.
