Man arrested trying to sell stolen motorcycle on Craigslist

Andrew PentisBuffalo police said a South Buffalo man tried to sell a motorcycle on the popular Craigslist web site. Unfortunately for him, it was stolen - and detectives were the only interested buyers, according to police.
Stephen George Sorenson, 21, was arrested about 11 a.m. Wednesday at his home near Clifton and Bailey roads on suspicion of trafficking in stolen property, according to a report.
Sorenson’s ad priced the 2006 Yamaha R1 Anniversary Edition motorcycle at $4,800. An anonymous caller contacted Buffalo police to run the vehicle identification number and was told the motorcycle was reported stolen in Clarence, police said.
An undercover detective e-mailed the advertiser and got a call back promptly. When the detective expressed interest in purchasing the motorcycle Sorenson told the detective the motorcycle was still for sale. It was at that time arrangements were made to meet, according to the report.
At about 11 a.m., two undercover detectives arrived at Sorenson’s residence acting as potential buyers and matched the VIN with the records of the stolen motorcycle. They also saw that the motorcycle’s factory markings had been covered with black spray paint. Sorenson told them he suspected it was stolen and that’s why he lowered his asking price. Even after police suggested that he turn it over to authorities or dump it, Sorenson offered to sell it to them for $2,000. Other officers then arrived to arrest him.
While detained, Sorenson said he bought the motorcycle from a former neighbor for $500. He said he suspected it was stolen and called Buffalo police to confirm it, and they said it was, according to the report.
Police estimated motorcycle’s value at $8,500.

For some reason, I believe that he got it from his neighbor.
Shit, I would have offered him $600… with the cops standing there
