Sportbike Identification & Investigation

Because Sportbike theft is such a huge problem combined with the fact most of the participants are young criminals, starting a Sportbike investigation is very easy to do. In my class I cover some of the sources that can help with starting Sportbike investigations that does not take alot of experience. Most Sportbike thieves I have been in contact with are not the hard core biker types but younger criminals with little or no record.

California continues to have a very big problem with Sportbike thefts. Although not number one in thefts per capita, California leads with the number of stolen motorcycles in the US.
