They probably wouldn't keep the bike intact would they? When you register a motorcycle or car don't you give them the VIN in LOS? It would be a simple matter for the police to run that VIN to see if it came back "hot" so my guess is it's now parts.

IF your mate bought it on a credit card he just MIGHT have protection from theft. Some credit cards do offer it. Insurance would have been a cheap accessory!

Nah, they take the plates off and ride them unregistered - look around next time in LoS and see how many bikes have no plates on. Cars too.

I had a wicked thought once of rigging them up with a second hidden sim and a strip of C4 - call the second number a boom

...but knowing my luckj someone would call me on it on a wrong number and take out my bedroom or something.

So, I should be able to get cheap transport in Chiang Mai - just hire a kid to "liberate" a new moped for me and retire my bi-ped? Sounds thrifty! I'd better slap a coat of paint on it though - just in case some narrow minded, ungenerous expats decides that was HIS bike!
