The better-than-nothing conclusion to the saga of my stolen scooter
This is all the police were able to recover after I found parts of my beloved scooter for sale on Craigslist last week. (background: my grandpa’s scooter, which he gave my family in the 90s and I fixed up in 2009, was stolen in broad daylight last August)
The guy who was selling them bought a box of miscellaneous parts at a flea market and didn’t have any information about the guy he bought them from, so no chance at getting the motor or chassis.
I don’t really need these parts, but they are better than nothing and they will make great wall art in my apartment and one hell of a conversation starter.
It’s sick to see a fully functional, beautiful machine stripped to nothing by someone looking to make a quick buck, but such is life and all that crap. I suppose I can take the key off my keyring now and start shopping for motorcycles for the spring.
