Fredo, ZooDoo; The one trying to export the bike isn't very likely to have any relation to whoever stole it. It looks like it has been restored at least to some extent. The person exporting it probably didn't know it was stolen but they will loose any investment in it and it will be returned to the rightful owner. I have known a couple of people who bought bare frames for cars from wrecking yards and spent a fortune building custom cars from the frame up. Those cars were seized in export and returned to the owner of the original frame. They didn't face any criminal charges but they could have lost $100k in all the custom work. These were companies who checked the numbers and ran them before starting working on the cars. They got lucky in that the original owners agreed to legally sell the frames to them for reasonable amounts. But they could have just as easily just smiled and said "Nice car" and kept them. The builder would have no claim to all the work or parts they put into the build.

In the computer age they actually entered the VINs from thefts in 1967 to the database? Amazing.

Glad to see justice was served here. Got'a kinda feel bad for whoever spent the cash to fix it up this nice if they did not know it was stolen property. If they did know, not only am I glad to see the original owner get it back, but they should chop the thieves hands off!!

Politics / Motorcycle Stolen In 1967 Is Found In 2013 by topazjosh(m): 9:32am On Nov 06, 2013
In February of 1967, a 1953 Triumph Tiger 100 motorcycle was stolen from a man's backyard in Omaha, Nebraska. More than 45 years later, that same bike was found by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents at a Los Angeles port.

The bike had been on its way to Yokohama, Japan when authorities from Customs decided to take a closer look, the Orange County Register reported. Upon seeing that bike's vehicle identification number (VIN) matched a bike that was reported stolen way back when, agents seized the bike.

The bike, estimated to be worth around $9,000, was then sent to California Highway Patrol who tracked down the owner, now 72 and still living in Nebraska.

Via the OC Register:
Lou Koven, special agent for the National Insurance Crime Bureau, who was in charge of finding the owner, said the owner was in disbelief and shock when contacted about the motorcycle, which had an estimated value of $9,000. When it was stolen, the bike was worth $300.
"He thought I was scamming him," Koven said. "But then the police contacted him, and then he started believing."

Los Angeles Weekly reports that this type of find isn't as rare as one might think. Todd C. Owen, CBP director of field operations in Los Angeles, said that CBP agents have recently intercepted two other vehicles stolen at least 20 years ago.

Via L.A. Weekly:
"CBP officers and their law enforcement counterparts check many outbound vehicles on a regular basis. Their success in recovering stolen vehicles is remarkable. A few have nice stories like this one.
Omaha.com spoke with the bike's owner, Donald R. Devault, who explained that the bike used to look a lot different. "Back then it was baby blue and it looked like a little toy chopper," he said.

He told the paper that he's looking forward to the reunion. “I’m going to ask her, ‘Where have you been?’ I bet there’s a lot stories she could tell me,” he told Omaha.com. “I wish she could talk because a lot’s happened in 46 years.”. www.http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/motorcycle-stolen-in-1967-is-found-in-2013-232032044.html?.tsrc=yahoo

Warri _Pikin: [size=18pt]The centenary celebration we want is stable,constant and cheap electricity,pipe borne drinking water in all the state capitals and at least 3 cities in every state, very good dual carriage federal highways across Nigeria and a mass housing program to alleviate the housing deficits across the country.

We don't want any useless centenary village in Abuja where the rich will insulate themselves further from the problems of mass poverty they have created by their corruption.

In any case, if a super modern village needs to be created at all, it should definitely be in the Niger Delta region and NOT the north again. Since FESTAC was built in the South west-Lagos and the rest of any other major project in nigeria have been in the north- abuja, it is time that something is built in the Niger Delta that produce all the wealth to give us a sense of belonging too.[/size]
nice one,@least centenary project should be in all geo political zone,either is govt or PP financed project.

My concern na Delta State first,then other parts of the South. Upon say north don use local governments and number of states corner all the national resources, the little in the hands of Federal Government to develop the whole Nigeria,they still wan corner am put for only north. Una dey see am,una no wan tok. If na to fight useless Ibo vs. Yoruba e-war wey no get meaning,una go carry first.

You see North dey use wayo dey cheat us blind like say we be e.diots, una dey still talk yeye PDP vs. APC jargon?
