Two dirt bikes disappeared from a homeowner's detached garage on Greenville Avenue in Johnston sometime overnight on September 21, and police are still hoping someone out there saw something. The missing bikes are a red 2020 Honda CRF 450R and an orange 2024 KTM 125XC, two distinctive off-road machines that investigators say simply vanished before morning.

According to the WJAR report on the case, the theft happened just after midnight on September 21 in Johnston, Rhode Island. As Patch reported, the Johnston Police Department posted a plea for the public's assistance in tracking down the bikes stolen from the detached garage overnight.
