"Hey Texas Folks,

Last night my 78 Honda CM 185T was stolen from my apartment complex. The license was 4es466 and the vin of the bike is cm185T 2057009.

It is the color red that is pictured in the link. There is slight bubbling on the gas tank, two 1 inch tears in the seat, rust on the lower of the frame, and two small holed on the inside of the right exhaust pipe.

I am probably not supposed to post numbers, but if you see anything that resembled my bike around Austin, or in this area of TX 5-one-2 two-zero-three six-498

Thanks"

Hope he gets it back before it's "cafed".....

I'd bet it is local, hiding in someones garage within 2 miles from where it was taken. I would look for it in the evenings 1 hour before and 1 hour afer sundown. Look in places which have alleys and or the garage is in the back yard. Believe it or not, the best thing to use is a bicycle, very quite and fast enough with your cell phone.

Better to take note of the address and come back later the next morning (4-5 AM) with the police after you know for certain the bike is there.
