VIDEO: Bold Thieves Steal ATVs In Western New York

The summer is almost here and now is the time to plan for all the fun you are going to have. Perhaps that means you will be getting a new ATV or side by side to take on an adventure. Post pandemic, there seems to be more inventory becoming available.

It seems that more and more people are buying land and choosing to get a four wheeler. They sure are fun and a great way to get around the property that you have. Over the last couple of years, four wheelers have been selling as fast as the dealers can get them in stock. If you are selling yours privately, you can get a good amount of money for that as well.

The ATV market is so hot that these bold thieves are taking them right off the lot in Elma!

If anyone can lead to 7 arrests they will get a new outlander for FREE!

ARE THE LAWS IN NEW YORK CHANGING?

If you are looking to get a new ATV or side by side, there may be some changes coming across New York State.

At least one New York State lawmaker wishes there were more registrations for side-by-sides as well as ATV in New York.

But what about that ATV or side-by-side you own

Current registration law in New York State pertaining to ATV's calls for:

An ATV must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) if it is operated anywhere in New York State, including on the owner's property.

WE NEED ATV WASH STATIONS:

If you have to travel to ride, you probably have to haul that machine to and from the place you ride. How great would it be if you had a place that was designed specifically to wash these fun machines?

Here in the Western New York area, it seems that car washes are everywhere and they are popping up all the time! Most of these places won't allow you to wash off-road vehicles off. The large chunks of mud and debris left behind is not something your local car wash wants to deal with. But if there was a specific wash for ATV's there would be no worry.

True, the fun IS the mud when you ride. But there are times when you want to get the majority of it off or get the salt off your sled or ATV if you have had to trailer it on the winter roads of New York State. A wash station big enough to handle your trailer and toys with the right equipment to help you get it clean would save time and effort at home.
