Anybody missing a banshee? Had one stolen?

Sounds a little fishy....I don't know maybe not..

Typical Craigslist in my opinion.

Yeah there is a guy that lives nearby me that doesnt even work yet he gets all of these pimp quads and sells them on Craigslist I know they are probably stolen but getting the cops to prove it is a job in itself..........................................

yeah that's typical if the police they don't do anything for/about stolen machines around here either.
Just seen a new listing on criagslist... $500 Reward for a RM250 that was stolen from the Blue Springs area

I am going to create a special section for stolen ATV'S and BIKES. I will run an ad on Craigslist today about our forum and I will mention that if a quad or bike has been stolen that they should post pics and vins here too so we can help them track them down.

I've talked to that kid about a month ago. He wants top dollar for used parts... I don't think its stolen though.

the bad part is most quads never get registered so people never have titles for em. If the police find one stolen and take it to a tow lot the owner can't come get it without registration or title so they get stuck with em. Thats why they don't do anything about it!

someone could be pulled over for a DUI and have a stolen quad in the back of there pickup.
they can get arrested and the truck impounded and the cop's won't run the numbers on the quad.
it will still be in the truck when the offender makes bail.

Thats a great Idea about having a forum just for posting stolen machines.

Sounds Like A Good Idea Geoff.

cops dont do shat when your banshee is stolen.. when i called to file stolen banshee back in 98 first thing they said was your will never see it again.. had foot prints coulda got finger prints who cares its just a atv..

^^ Sounds like every officer I've ever heard talk about a stolen quad of any sort banshee or otherwise...

a neaghbour of mine had his truck stolen it had his quad in the back. he got the truck back but not the quad, the police arrested the thief but never followed up on the quad, it was insured and the insurance did pay part of the replacement but he neverdid get the full value.

how do i tell if a quad is stolen ive passed on some killer deals thinking they might be stolen someone told me to call highway patroll but said if its stolen theyll tell you to bring it up there to get a title

you have the VIN checked with the Missouri Highway Patrol data base I'm pretty sure, and if it was stolen you'd be caught up in a mess for sure JMO
