I guess my title is a bit misleading as I typed it before getting all the details - He wasn't on a test drive, but stole it from the house, located in a subdivision - there were other people (neighbors) outside at the time afaik. Now that I've gotten the full story, this guys had balls of titanium and it's pretty obvious that this isn't his first rodeo. This wasn't a 2 minute thing.. they were talking for about 20-25 mins.. dude took off in a flash when back was turned.
My bull$h1t-metre is off the charts at all times - if someone wanted to buy my bike at 10pm - I'd tell him he can wait till the morning. If he showed up with no gear and no car and claimed he was going to make a deal, I would be VERY skeptical, especially if he offered me basically my asking price without much of an effort. Unfortunately, it happened.. and can't fix that now.
AFAIK - police took the envelope and all contents within. The phonecalls were made from a payphone in the east end.
I'm not at liberty to post any further details - I was simply spreading the word in hopes of someone having seen something.
I'll let the owner, who has posted in the thread, share any further details if he feels he wants to share. I know how much he loved that bike.
