Report it stolen NOW.
Otherwise, <b>Lurkette's</b> Mom is the responsible party for everything concerning that motorcycle. What happens if 'the roommate' runs over some kid, and an investigation finds that the brakes were faulty, and way past their replacement date? Lawyers would have a field day with that.
Sure - that's a stretch, but why would anyone want to be responsible for something that was stolen from them? Yes - he may just be "flakey", but let's not mince words here - he flat out stole the motorcycle. If you report it stolen, sure - nobody is going to go looking for it, but if he gets stopped for a traffic ticket, or gets in an accident, or is stupid enough to try to renew the registration, then the authorities will contact you. Chances are, when the registration is due, he'll abandon it - then it'll either be discovered in a parking lot after sitting there a few weeks, or it will get re-stolen and probably sold for parts.
Also to consider - why continue to pay for it if it's been stolen? I assume if there was a loan on the motorcycle, it was insured.
Bottom line - I wouldn't give a second thought to 'inconveniencing' the roommate - he knew what he was doing when he took off with the motorcycle. Fuck him. C.Y.A.
