I had a coouple fo classic Harleys for over 20 years. A '47 Knuckle (47FL6028) and a '48 Pan (48EL8612). Supposed friends borrowed them, broke them down and sold all the pieces. They are on the stolen list, but dos anyone have any idea how to track them down and get the engines back, even if I have to pay for them?
I've heard that when you originally report them stolen they only stay on the list for a year or two after that time if they're not renewed they drop off. Not sure if that is true or not. You may check with your local DMV and see if they can run the VINs. If it was dropped off the list who ever ended up with the cases could get a lost title and register it. I don't know if a State can run a national VIN search but it wouldn't hurt to ask. They could get you pointed in the right direction. Good luck on the search.
I ran the numbers on the National Insurance Crime Bureau https://www.nicb.org/cps/rde/xchg/ni.../vincheck.html They did not show up as stolen or salvaged. If an insured vehicle is stolen or salvaged it shows up on this site. My 72 was totaled and it shows up as a salvaged vehicle so I know it works. You may want to contact them to see if you can get the numbers listed. You didn't include any personal info in your profile so we have no idea what state you are in. Did your ex friends sell them locally, at a regional swap meet, or on e-bay? If e-bay you could do an advanced search and search completed listings for knucklehead and panhead parts to see if you recognize anything. You could then identify the sellers ID and try to get e-bay to contact the buyers to recover your property. You may have to have the law enforcement get involved to get the info. It will also help to build a case against the dirt bags.
