Stolen Phone Leads Police To Stolen Bike
A complaint about a stolen phone leads the authorities to stolen motorcycles Modern technology is constantly changing out world, introducing new conveniences while making old technologies and industries obsolete. In the same way the advent of companies like Uber and Lyft have made earning a living as a cab driver exponentially more difficult, so too has the advent of modern GPS for thieves. A recent story out of Tennessee demonstrated this, however it would be the GPS tracker in a cell phone that would end up helping the authorities to locate a stolen motorcycle. MORE STOLEN STUFF: Cop has helmet, gloves, and saddlebags stolen On March 24, 2018, police in Paris, Tennessee, received a report of a stolen cell phone from a local residence. An officer was dispatched to the home, and when Deputy Jim Sanders arrived to take a report about the caller’s $600 phone that had been stolen, he noticed a motorcycle parked in the driveway. The woman giving the police report informed the deputy that the bike—a Honda Shadow—had been repainted from red to black. MORE STOLEN BIKES TRACKED: Zero accidentally tests new anti-theft tracking devices Sanders ran the bike’s VIN and sure enough it was stolen. According to the local publication The Paris Post-Intelligentcer; the woman who called police was not the owner (or thief rather) of the motorcycle. Deputy Sanders also reportedly made note of several scratches, dings, and other cosmetic imperfections that, despite having been painted over, should still help the bike’s rightful owner identify it.

But that’s the story of how a stolen $600 phone lead police to a stolen $1,500 motorcycle. Source: The Paris Post-Intelligentcer More from RideApart:
