Dickinson filed a police report and the motorcycle and trailer were found later in the day behind a stolen truck about 5 miles away.

The trailer was towed to Dickinson's son's house, where he thought it would be more secure, but the motorcycle was gone from the trailer by 4:45 a.m. Aug. 21.

The motorcycle was spotted by a neighbor in the parking lot of an apartment complex about a mile away.

Dickinson said he isn't taking any more chances with the bike.

"I put a lock, chain and a padlock on it," he said.
