A 1971 Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycle that was stolen nearly 34 years ago in Rhode Island has just resurfaced in central New Jersey. It was discovered when a buyer on eBay inadvertently purchased the stolen bike for $2,400.
After contacting Harley-Davidson for information, the prosecutor’s office learned that the motorcycle was stolen on Halloween way back in 1974 in Providence, R.I.
Apparently, the motorcycle had been bought and sold a few times throughout the years, and the eBay seller was unaware that the bike was stolen property.
The unsuspecting auction winner will be reimburses under eBay's policy protecting those who inadvertently buy stolen vehicles.
