Steele&#8217;s has posted a <a href=\"http:\/\/denver.craigslist.org\/mcd\/2912692234.html\">notice on Craigslist<\/a> and elsewhere that they are offering a &#8220;substantial&#8221; reward information. The theft occurred on March 15.<\/p>\n<p>According to the notice, the bike (last six of vin # 007178) was taken by &#8220;a young Hispanic male about five foot nine, 135 pounds believed to own a late model Yamaha R6 and residing in the Englewood\/Littleton area.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Greg Zick, the salesman who was dealing with the guy, said he had been in previously looking at the bike, so he was pretty pleased to see him show up again. The fellow asked to have the bike turned on so he could hear it run, Zick went to pull off his hoodie, and bingo!<\/p>\n<p>Now, my bet is that that bike will never be seen on the road again. If this guy already has a comparable bike, I&#8217;ll bet he figured this would be a good way to get an inexpensive parts bike.
