How to tell if a used bike for sale is stolen or not?

[Xpat2b]

I think I found a vintage bike I want to buy from a private party (out of state) and want to make sure it is not stolen - what' the best way to do that?  I have the VIN...

Thanks

I had an experience of knowing a guy was trying to sell me a stolen bike, in fact he had several of them.  I saw them they were stolen, he even admitted that I shouldn't try to plate them.  I called the cops and said this is where the guy is what he looks like, and the make and model of his truck and trailer.  They replied that they couldn't respond, they couldn't give me any info.  I told them that I had written down the V.I.N. numbers of these bikes, but they said they couldn't give me any info.  I left a message for a detective, that was 3 years ago.  No phone call.  So cops dont give a shit, or any info on V.I.N.'s

Shoot me a PM. I'll need to know what state the bike was likely last reg'd in.

  one for guns too.

I have a simple solution for that when I sell a gun or two from my collection. I make them meet me at a local gun shop I'm normally a customer at and have them fill out a background check. Dont want to go through a BG check, I aint selling you my firearm. Never had anyone refuse or get turned down from the BG.
