Stolen Motorcyle Returned - 25 Years Later
Published: April 13, 2006
A motorcycle stolen from Southern California in 1971 is headed back to its original owner.
Phillip McKeen says, “It’s as if a friend you hadn’t seen for 30 years walked back into your life but hadn’t aged a day.”
The 1970 Yamaha motorcycle has under 10,000 miles on its odometer. It was about to be shipped overseas to a Finnish man who bought it for a little more than $1,700 on eBay.
Authorities say the vehicle identification number turned up in the database of the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Long Beach police tracked down McKeen, who lives in New England now.
Authorities say neither the buyer nor the seller is suspected of a crime.
