Report the theft to the police. Write down and keep all serial numbers for your bike, any stickers that might be on it, or anything else of note, as well as a description of what happened with details like date, time, or location if possible. Contact insurance company if you have coverage; otherwise, contact local law enforcement . Contact your bank or credit union if you have a loan on the dirt bike; they may be able to put an alert on it. Check with Motorcycle Theft Database for reports of other bikes stolen in your area. Search Craigslist and eBay Motors for listings that match yours – but beware, thieves often use these sites to sell stolen bikes. Look for your bike on BikeIndex or Stolen Bikes International if you know the year and make of the bike. Contact a local dealership to see if they can find it by using its VIN number. This is one of the best ways, but not always available because some dealerships require that customers have a credit application on file. Contact the manufacturer to see if they can find it using its VIN number; some refuse to release this information without being given your permission in writing. Check with local authorities: police stations, sheriff’s offices, and other law enforcement agencies may be able to help you locate the motorcycle through their records of stolen property or vehicles.
