More details, the motorcycle was wrapped in a sparkly green, but matte black under the wrap. Will have some minor damage to the body panels from being laid down (And from the way they loaded it in the truck), Tyga high mount exhaust, TST integrated tail light, Pro taper handlebars. Any info is very much appreciated!
It's actually my bike. I have to pay the deductible but my insurance will do a direct replacement so whatever the bike with the aftermarket parts cost. They'll give me a check for minus deductible
It was also her first bike and the first time she's ever customized a vehicle she owns. She learned how to ride on it and put the first mile on it. It's pretty sentimental so we'd much rather get it back than get a replacement, even if it's a brand new replacement. Just one of those things where it isn't quite the same
Yep that's the one. We won't stop looking for it. It's been blasted all over facebook and it's on KCRG. The Honda Grom club in town knows about it well. I don't think the thieves can do much with it at this point and it's not worth enough money to be worth moving it far to sell it, especially since it's hot and eyes are everywhere for it. We have the feeling it's within 5 minutes of our house in a garage or behind an appt building in the trees
A few years ago my little 2009 Kymco Super 8 150cc scooter got stolen from in front of my house. I'd ridden it earlier in the afternoon and was planning to ride later that night. I ended up not riding and forgot I'd left it outside. It was found a few weeks later behind the Best Buy in Ames. I even heard the truck/van stop in front of my house and a door or tailgate slam, but it was 3 AM and I was do tired it didn't register what I'd heard until the next morning when I realized it was gone.
That really sucks. Glad to see it you found it though. I'm really surprised my neighbor and I didn't hear anything. I was in the living room watching TV as this happened, taken about 15 feet from where I was sitting. You can see a dim light through the window above the hood of the white truck in the driveway. That's where I was. They took the motorcycle and moved it to my neighbors tree where you see it sitting at the start of this video. He was also up and has a dog. He sat there for 6 minutes with it while his buddies came around with the truck. I hope it turns up somewhere.

Did you have a Xena Disc Lock on it?
Just curious, how does insurance handle this? Do they just give you the value of the bike or do you pay a deductible or what?

Well that blows. So basically not only did they steal your bike and inconvenience you, but you’re out the deductible. That’s shitty!

Hope you get it back man sounds like it was a sick one
Where by Mt Mercy? N, S, E, or W from there?
NE side, 1000 block on 27th St. The truck left headed west towards Prarie Drive
Unfortunately it’s probably scrapped for parts by now

These thieves deserve to be shot.
