Editing Motorcycle Theft (section)

=== Courthouse ===

The place you go to get your bike back from the impound lot is the Bryant St. Courthouse. Those guys give you a letter that lets you have your bike back, you take that to the lot and then all is well. The thing with stolen vehicles is that you don't really get them back for free. Once the police call you, you have about an hour to respond to come pick it up. If you don't pick it up in that time, it'll be towed and you have to pay the tow fee and the lot storage fee and all that all of which sum up to an astronomical amount. Since I hadn't picked up the motorcycle in a month, the storage fees were more than the total value of the bike.

But in this case, they hadn't really called me when they foud the bike originally. This meant I wasn't actually on the hook for anything, and they gave me a piece of paper that released it to me. Hurray!
