Its too bad society treats auto theft as a joke.
I prefere the days of the Old West sometimes. Steal a mans horse...get yerself a rope neck-tie.
For alot of us a Busa is a toy. A second,third,even fouth vehicle.But its not that way for all.
I have family members who's only transportation is their motorcycle.They use it to get to work,go buy groceries,get to the doctor etc.
Until the penalties for auto/MC theft get taken seriously,this problem will only grow.
I'd like to see identifying marks put on all major componants.Wheels,fairings,tank,swingarm,motor,etc.
Then pawn shops and consumers could report stolen parts,not buy them,and put these fugs outa business permantly.
The average punk doesn't even do 1 day in jail for vehicle theft. Its almost treated as a joke.
Where I live,a first offence for Break and Enter never results in jail time.Think about that for a second.In this day and age someone can break into your house,steal and destroy,and get a slap on the wrist.
