PORT RICHEY, Fla., July 15 (UPI) -- Authorities in Florida said a man followed tire tracks and the smell of gasoline to his stolen Fatboy mini chopper motorbike at a neighbor's house.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Corey Hilton of Port Richey discovered the $1,200 motorbike was missing from his backyard at about 7 a.m. and followed tire tracks to the home of neighbor Christopher Burns, 26, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported Thursday.
Hilton told deputies he followed the strong scent of gasoline to Burns' guest room, where he discovered the bike hidden under a pile of clothes. Hilton said he reclaimed the motorbike and called deputies, who arrested Burns at his home.
Burns was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling and taken to the Land O'Lakes jail in lieu of $10,000 bail.
