could i get in trouble

[trikes4life]

i was riding last week and i found a 99 honda elite 80cc moped in a irrigation ditch off a public trail. i left it there, thinking some one ran out of gas. Well theres a quarter tank in it and theres no keys. So i left it there, and was out today it was still there in plain view. If i bring it home, and its stolen will i get in trouble. If i do, i will have the vin ran and if it is stolen, i will return it with out any problems. the thing is in very good shape, cracked lense thats it. theres no plates on it.

if it is stolen. you can get in trouble for posetion of stolen property.

dont call the cops they will take it from you no mater what . run the #'s online or over the phone or something.

i am sure it is stolen


i would let it cool off. and find a title or a junk bike with a title and make a good leagal one out of it.




i used to help myself to lots of mopeds when i was a kid i would just spray paint them and use them like dirt bikes. i would jump them mud them. i would kill them . there fun.

i would just ride them in the woods or to friends houses in the neiborhood.i had a half a dozzen of them i only baught one and it was hot to. i never got in trouble.

If it's there another day or two...I would go ahead and take it. Who cares if its stolen...as long as you didnt do it. Look through the local paper and see if you see an add for it though.

Dont tell the cops, and dont tell anyone you found it on the side of the trail, and you will have no trouble.

I would do the right thing and call the cops. Let them know it's there. Tell them your interested in it, if no-one claims it.

Is it worth all the trouble you could get in for having a stolen moped?

the first two responses are MORONS

slightly criminal yes . but the advice i give comes from my own experince with the law and stolen mopeds. i am no moron.


why dont you kiss my ass .

I would get it but then call in the VIN. If it isnt reported stolen then you already have it, if it is then you get to be part of getting someones property back. I am sure that we have all been the victims before, so we know how that feels. Wouldnt it be nice to be a part of the good?

I think the last part is debatable, I think anyone who steals is a moron. And anyone who encourages some one else to is a moron. Stealing is stealing, whether its a moped or a trike. Anyone who steals should lose a hand and get 20 lashes with a cane.

well it could be some little kids trike!! i would call the cops, run the numbers over the phone at least,mabe a kid gets his trike back-if not mabe you keep it
some times the cops will "claim it" even though its not theres,or try selling it at a autcion,
but you found it!! youll get asked first at least from what i have learned-
posession is 9/10ths of the law
you found it -its not hot -you keep it

[TRI-Zbrian]

hmmm... being its a 99 i cant see soem one just throughing it away for the hell of it unless it was stolen... but there is a slight chance it isnt... if i were you id take it home... and as soon as you get home call the vins in on it.... if it is stolen return it like you would want a bike of yours returned if not then keep it fare and square..... just remember if a machine of yours was stolen wouldnt you want some one to do the right thing and return it to u..... to be even safer go get the vin number off of it and go home and call it in so you dont have it in your possesion.... then if it is you can just tell the cops ware they can find it so you have nuthing to do with it other then stopping by it on the road side and taking the vin number down...

like said possesion is 9 tenths the law.... if it is seen on your front lawn and it is indeed stolen YOU WILL BE ARRESTED.... i can promise you that.... they get "oh officer i found it im sure all the time so they are def not going to believe you saw it on the side of the road... if this thing was an 80s pos then i could see soem one just throwing it away but not a 99.... im sure some is looking for it... probly some punk kids thought theyd swipe it beat the *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* out of it for the day then ditch it...

THIS sir, is THE MOST PATHETIC PIECE OF TRASH to be posted on these forums in some time that has not earned a lifetime ban, though this stupidity comes REALLY close. This site is for the promotion of safe, responsible and LAWFUL use of 3 wheeled ATVs. The idea that you would come here and promote THEFT, and HANDLING STOLEN PROPERTY along with pointers on the best way to get away with it MAKES ME SICK. You have posted a lot of stupidity in the past, which we DO tolerate, but this kind of crap WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!!! I am warning you now to be VERY careful about about giving advice on messing around with stolen property in future posts. It WILL NOT STAND here.



trikes4life,
DO NOT TOUCH THIS VEHICLE IF YOU THINK IT IS STOLEN!!!!! Call the police, and let them investigate it right where it sits. Simply let them know you would like to have it, if it is not claimed. Most local jurisidictions have a policy about items found, that go unclaimed for a certain amount of time.

Goodbye!

I agree with Tim sr and the others ! Image if that was your trike wouldn't you like the person that found it too call the cops so it get's returned too you no matter what shape its in. I would think so teenager or adult that needs this for transportation is probly wishing they had it back.......

[corndawg]

alot of times if you turn it in and nobody claims it, it will be yours after a certain amount of time, my buddy found a blaster that sombody ran out of gas on his propertym, he turned it in, 30 days later it was his
