This is an idea, but don't you think the thieves could find my post and it could scare them away from trying to sell on there?

My objective wouldn't be to find the thieves on CL but to get the word out about my bike

Other than what's already been said, I'm not sure what else to tell ya.
However, if you're watching CL in case your bike pops up... this site may help save you some time.
craiglook.com

Hope you find your bike, bro.

I feel really bad for you bro. My brothers 03 ninja zx6r got stolen at AZ easily. Luckily the cops caught him riding it on the road! Damn, just hearing this report makes me want to be EXTREMELY careful where I leave my bike. It can get jacked soo easily.. GOOD LUCK!

If comprehensive insurance is affordable, get that instead of lojack.

The more you love your bike, the less you may want it if its recovered. Ask dohcdelsol about his F4i getting 'recovered'. I love Ororo but if she's stolen, just cut me a check so I can go bike shopping. I don't want to see her stripped, gutted or after someone tossed her in the back of a van for a 5 mile trip to a chop shop.

I agree with the above. When I got my dirtbike back I sold it. It just wasn't the same. And like they said. Post up in the motorcycles for sale section. It might scare them from trying to sell it on CL but you'd have to be dumb to try to sell a stolen bike online anyway. It's worth the risk to scare them and have all of those extra eyes and ears out there on your behalf. Thats my oppinion anyway. Good luck man
