The article says the team "has been in contact with the crooks."  

Are they trying to ransom the bikes and equipment?

Crooks pulled the heads off and realised life is simpler without Desmo. Back to stealing YZF's.

Someone stole Chad Reeds custom TwoTwo table cloths from the pits at High Point in 2013.  Then they made a video of kidnappers trying to ransom them back to Chad.

Didn’t someone steal James Stewart’s prototype Nike boots from an outdoor national once and ransom it back to him?

Mirtl knows a guy in Texas that'll take them.

I know it won’t happen because those types never maintain anything. But it would be hilarious if they got caught because they were trying to buy replacement parts for it.

Reminiscent of when the factory Honda rig was stolen in the early 70’s with bikes in it. The rig was recovered. Did they ever recover the works bikes?

I think they were stolen from his pickup truck when he was riding at Milestone
