    I hate thieves.. My brother’s Yamaha YZF R1 was stolen a couple days ago in Lancaster. It has a lot of carbon fiber work, aftermarket exhaust handle bar stabilizer Color’s are red white and black. It has Motul stickers and more. If anyone see’s it contact the Sherriff’s dept. License plate #15B4388. Motorcycle was loaded into an older model Chevy Suburban by a fat bald Hispanic male and a skinny Caucasian male. My little brother misses his bike..
