Stolen Genuine Buddy, light blue, $100 reward

Post by fiddlefan »

Was stolen in Durham, NC. Here's the link to the Craigslist ad in Raleigh that gives all the details...

Thanks for your help!

Man that sucks. Good luck to you. I doubt it will make it down to Charlotte but Ill keep my eye out. When/if you get it back, replace the Duke sticker with a Tarheel one. :wink:

Just saw this on scooteralert.com.

Have you also posted to the scoot.net stolen scooter registry?

Sorry to hear about it. Hope you get it back!

Yeah, a Tarheel fan probably stole it...just kiddin'. :P You say it won't make it to Charlotte, but I doubt it'll stay in the Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill area either. Should've put a rattlesnake in the under-seat storage compartment, right?

Not sure if posting your stolen ad on CL is a good idea.

There is always a chance it could turn up for sale there.

Well, in a moment of panic and utter disgust, I figured CL was a good place to get the word out. It's also posted a lot of other places too. I doubt it would show-up on CL anyway...too risky for the thieves. I'm lookin' for all Genuine Buddy 50's for sale, wherever, especially one that's been repainted.

Durham isnt exactly crime-free I hear. Black tar heroin is a big problem Ive read, as well as in Charlotte. A good heroin habit would be more than enough motivation to take a scoot. Keep us posted.

I'd wait a little and post a WTB ad for 50cc scooter with different phone number then you posted before. Maybe theyll 'wait until they feel the heat if off then repaint and try to sell as a 50cc bike
