should get totalled out as a "theft recovery". At least thats what they did with my cousins bike several years ago. He caught the dude, alerted police and they raided his garage which was like a mile from where he stole it. They found parts to a bunch of other stolen bikes and they cut my cousin a check and said he could buy back the parts and get it titled as such. He declined, moved on to a Harley and hasn't gone back
