I saw not really red flags but let's say very pink ones once for a used Centurion I saw listed on facebook marketplace. I contacted a friend that worked for the small town police station to see if there were any reports of it being recently stolen. He pretty much communicated they wouldn't look it up because the local PD didn't really care and that if I wanted it, I should buy it. I passed on the bike, but it told me a lot about how at least my local police department prioritized stolen property.
