[replyingto=scootnwinn]scootnwinn[/replyingto]Damn right. I'm one of them. Put a $1000 dollar bike in front of me and tell me it's $100? Give me a bill of sale so I'M legal and I have 0 problems. I just buy a better lock for it.

So instead of turning them in you just become part of the issue. p)

I'm glad that I live in a state where you have to register a 50cc.

pyscho, I believe even with a bill of sale, you still get busted. Somebody steals my bike and I find it, I'll go after whoever's on it. "Oh, but look, I've got a bill of sale so I'm legal." Sorry, no, you've purchased stolen goods. To wit--
All US states also have laws regarding receipt of stolen property; however, there usually is no minimum dollar amount in many jurisdictions, and, of course, the requirement in Federal law regarding interstate commerce does not apply. Also, in many states (Ohio, for example), the burden to prove criminal intent is not as stringent or is nonexistent.[5] This means that one can be charged with the crime - usually a minor degree of felony - even if the person did not know the item in question was stolen.
So don't be surprised when a former--read LEGAL--owner shows up someday with cops, after you bought that stupid-cheap bike with its bill of sale. And you'd better pray it's not my bike, 'cause I'll prosecute you to the full extent of the law. Don't care if you turn over the seller, I'm busting YOU. And the seller. And whoever he bought from, if he wasn't the thief. I'll bust every-single-body involved in any theft from me. Period.
