It was stolen from the future??? 4-28-14??? And out of all the cool bikes at the store...they only took that one bike? Seems the last person looking at it would be the person you need to be looking up.

Was there an information/ID/Sale tag on the bike when stolen. Who ever stole it may try to sell it with a description based on information they may have seen or taken on that tag, not knowing any better. May help members here keep a eye out for it.

Sorry too to hear this. :no:

Looks like Motor City Mini's and Mean Dean have posted for rewards on Craigslist:

STOLEN minibike! ruttman spyder

Stolen Silver Ruttman Long frame


Good Luck Guy's.


I also just checked ebay...nothing there for "Ruttman (minibike, mini bike)"

Too, I would list the bike as stolen with reward on ebay too. eBay may bump it but it's worth a try. It seems to me that the reward would be the basis of the listing though and should be OK so long as you are willing to pay ebay their fee on the reward...i.e. "$500 Cash Reward for sale, Payment one Stolen Ruttman minibike or $1000.


BTW...from the Craigslist listing it looks like a $500 reward offered by Mean Dean, is that so?


Also guy's don't forget to keep an eye out for the bike being parted!

Yes ,That is a $500 reward from me. Sorry It was 3/28/14. It was early and I am dealing with two close Deaths to me that day. I am not perfect but pissed. Too many thefts in mini bike stores and bikes being stolen in the Detroit Area the last year and a half. WTF. It has to be a certain group doing this crap. The bike and parts will be traceable. Thanks to all for looking out.

The minibike I suppose is the least of your worries right now. I'm very sorry to hear of your loss Dean, God Bless you and yours. Bad run of luck there, just bad on bad. Best Wishes.


When you do feel up to it, do fill us in on what's happening there at Motor City Mini's. It sounds that this is a common issue lately?
