Civil case small claims court... doubtful you'll ever see any money. Best way to go it go file a lien against the responsible parties property. That'll get their attention fast ( or should )and hopefully will settle with you.

First, get a police report of your own, and demand the person that stole your bike be arrested, or to send their insurance as they left a scene if a crime involving a motor vehicle. Or hey can provide their insurance to handle the matter. They would need to have the official docs to prove Harley made the mistake, or them. If them, that is theft, there isn't a "made a mistake" clause that gets them out. Intent does, and they obviously intended to take your bike because they actually took it lol.
Then I would file on your insurance and let then fight it all out.

How did they mistakenly repo your bike?
How could they have made this mistake? Someone else's bike supposed to get repoed and they misidentified it? They should have verified the serial/id number before hauling it off.
If you file a claim in JP court, I believe they have 30 days to respond. If they don't, you get a default judgement.Last edited by Burnadell; 05-04-2018, 11:23 AM.

OP, I don't even know what to say. I'd be SUPER pizzed!!! I would think finance company needs to poney up for the repairs and of course loss of value for the bike having been damaged.
