Almost 2 years later and we have one back!
Popped up on craigslist last week AT A PAWN SHOP! I called the police, they went and put a hold on it, later that day I was able to prove that it was ours (still had the #s, graphics, everything untouched). We went to retrieve it from said pawn shop last night. According to the CPD and this pawn shop we needed to pay whatever they paid the seller ($165). I looked this up and it is not a law but it is somehow required... if you don't pay it you have to go to small claims court. Since I don't have the time or patience for that, I paid up like a sucka. Walk over to the "storage" building and walk in to about 75 bikes, a large handful of them all being PW50s. I said to the guy "I cant believe you take all these and sell them with no titles" he goes "oh well they are just 50cc..." Mind blown. I realized after we got home that they forgot to take the sticker off the bike that had the sellers info on it, so I peel that off to find 2 more stickers under it, all the same person, 3 different vin #s. She had sold it to the shop in Dec 2015 yet they just posted it for sale last week?? The pawn shop had told me that she brought two in, I looked over all of the other ones there and they weren't ours. Crazy situation, I will say that the police were very helpful as far as getting the bike back to us but do not seemed concerned about the circumstance.
