If you had your 1953 Triumph motorcycle stolen more than 45 years ago, you’d probably have forgotten it even existed by now.
But one lucky rider, now 72 years old, got his bike back over the weekend, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Los Angeles announced today: CBP officials say the Triumph Tiger t100 was stolen from the Omaha, Nebraska, backyard of a law enforcement officer on the night of February 4 or 5, 1967. The agency states: The Omaha patrolman’s stolen vehicle report about the blue- and black- colored, Tiger T 100 model bike noted it was parked in the rear yard all winter and a gate on the wood fence was forced.
