My ATV is GONE!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT THEY FOUND IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[yunt2ride]

I won't apologize for my comments about buying stolen ATVs, unless you can explain to me why you wouldn't verify the ID of the seller and ensure that it matches the name on the title? Those of you out there who haven't bothered to comply with that law requiring you to title your ATV, aren't helping reduce the market for stolen ATVs, either. And, where does the money come from to keep that database of VIN #s, etc. so that your stolen ATV can be tracked, possibly recovered and returned to the rightful owner? Does it come from those who won't title their ATVs? You wanna play, you gotta pay!

Not all quads have titles. You just had to start titleing them a few years back. My brother has a 1996 that he purchased new and the dealership never applied for a title and he said he never got one for it. All he has is the paperwork where he purchased it. I purchased a used 2000 model and it even had a lien on it at the credit union and there was never a title from Tallahassee. I have the original MSO from the factory on that one. So depending on the age of them may depend on if it even has a title or not.

First, I'm glad it worked-out for you without you getting killed or injured over a material object. Secondly, while I can understand the ethnic emotions used to described the alleged thief, I trust some of my ethnic riding buddies more than those self-proclaimed "good" old boys who must hate to live with themsleves and this thread shouldn't be hijacked by that nonsense. Third, "the Miami-Dade police made an arrest. I hope it was the guy who stole it and not some innocent kid that just bought it for like 500 bucks". BS! If you buy a stolen bike, you should go to jail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a dummy. Glad to hear you got it back.

I agree that most people will not verify the ID of a potential buyer before letting them test ride. Perhaps they should print this story and keep it to remind them.

Someone caught with stolen property is guilty only of possession of stolen property. This POS has yet to be convicted of possession and yet to be convicted of grand theft, hence the term alleged thief.

The law says, "all off-highway vehicles purchased after the effective date of the "Florida Off-Highway Vehicle Titling Act" (July 1, 2002) and all off-highway vehicles operated on public lands be titled to allow for easy determination of ownership". You can help by titling yours or you can just to continue whine about thieves!

I'm glad you got the quad back .I told you The guy got his payback so far.

I hope it's the right guy they cought him.  

If i was you change your  home phone so if guy gets out of jail
then he won't track you down.


At least you can sell your quad don't listen people
from afica they like scam you for fake money.It almost happen
to my dad once while back during two year ago
when he was selling his 56kw genrator on traderonline.com
and he send fedx cash in mail
with money order and we told post man
 it was nigaer scam from afica.
But the guy act like he was from candan
and when we use the *69 it was from nigear afica.
I told my dad it was nigear scam and I told
him why and I told him about answer machine
and the guy don't even sound like french candian
sound and it sound like black guy on answer.
I told my dad i saw ep of nigear scam on tv one
day and i told what they do and they try buy all
these items from usa and screw around with people
with a fake  bank account and fake money order
and when they have you bank account number
where you wire it and then they will start taking
all money out each month.

That would be correct but any OHV purchased before July 01, 2002 was not registered unless the owners rode at a place like croom so there are many quads out there without titles.

[svtbolt04]

A man trying to steal my quad would have to be an A-AA rider to get away from me.

[gery350]

listen i past up a couple nice z400's when i was lookin for one for jesse. you dont know how many sellers told me "ohv and dirt bikes dont have titles-a bill of sale will suffice(said arrogantly). i tried to explain the 2002 law and since z400s started in 2003 they had to be titled, they respondd as if i were crazy.
well i almost bought one with a bill of sale only. i asked the guy for the vin number and when i ran it through the link on the for sale section it had a lien with a bank. well i told the seller and hes like "oh yeah i still owe 2,200.00 on it. so i told him no thanks. in his defense he says he went to pay it off and was waiting foe the title. i would have bought it but found one local.

ps. thanks mr bones for the link to the title search. i would have bought a bike that would have belonged to the bank and not me.

[AintSkeered]

What if that person who got ,"caught" bought it from someone and he has a bill-of-sale? Is he still the thief were all asking for? So, what happens if you buy one of those bikes without a title? How can you positively ID the seller as the free and clear owner? Then, what happens if the seller reports it stolen?
