He was a bit arrogant first but when he saw the greenbook and also could find records that it was reported stolen we got it back.

Standard scam.. The MiB are playing this all the time..
A buddy was renting from another buddy.. He had to leave in a hurry so he left it outside the guesthouse (up on 50 year rd over the mountain) as it was paid to end of the month..
The guesthouse owner got worried and called ploice who came and took it..
Mate 1 speaks to mate 2 over email.. Says bike is up on hill.. Sorry but go collect.. Accomodation says police have it.. Police say no record of it.. Deny deny deny.. Few days later bike is spotted being moved between compounds by the cop shop..
Even with the green book in hand they made it a struggle and wanted a few grand for 'finding' it.. By then Mate 2 knew that MiB were trying to steal it so there was no money forthcoming..
If it aint nailed down they figure it to be a perk of the job..
