Months later, a bargain that seemed too good to ignore brought the motorcycle back into view\u2014but in the hands of a couple who said they had paid $400 for a damaged bike. In Judge Judy\u2019s courtroom, the dispute turned on more than ownership. It became a test of dates, vehicle identification numbers, police records, and what a buyer should do when a deal arrives without a title.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_104-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The motorcycle disappears<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The case began with a dirt bike that Reed O\u2019Ryan said he had purchased around 2009 or 2010 for approximately $2,400. His family had used it on and off for years. According to his testimony, the motorcycle was taken from his yard sometime between October 20 and October 28, 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">O\u2019Ryan did not immediately notice that it was gone. He had left town on vacation with his son. When he returned, he realized the dirt bike was missing. He told the court that he had photographs of the motorcycle and knew its vehicle identification number, or VIN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That detail became central to the case. The question was whether the motorcycle later obtained by Tim Sole and Jessica Starbuck was the same bike O\u2019Ryan had reported stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_105-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_105-1.png 896w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_105-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_105-1-768x575.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A $400 offer in a small town<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sole did not say that he personally bought the motorcycle. He testified that Starbuck purchased it in mid-April 2018. The couple had worked at a restaurant and lived in a small town. They had put out word that they were looking for a used dirt bike for their daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The person who contacted them was identified only as Mario. Starbuck said Mario was a customer at the restaurant and had previously been her neighbor. He told her that he had a damaged dirt bike for sale for $400. Starbuck also testified that the motorcycle did not have a title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"891\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_106-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-890\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_106-1.png 891w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_106-1-300x227.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_106-1-767x581.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The price was low compared with the couple\u2019s other vehicles. They had other machines, including used quads and a Suzuki purchased at a garage sale for about $1,700. Sole also testified that he had previously paid roughly $800 for another dirt bike, along with parts traded for a quad. Against that background, the $400 offer appeared to be a bargain\u2014provided the motorcycle could be repaired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy focused on the circumstances surrounding that bargain. Starbuck already knew Mario. He was someone she had known socially, first as a former neighbor and later as a restaurant customer. Yet the bike came without a title, and the seller\u2019s identity was not fully established in the evidence presented in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_107-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_107-1.png 894w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_107-1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_107-1-767x573.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The VIN number and the missing title<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Starbuck testified that she discussed the purchase with Sole. She said Sole told her to have the VIN checked to make sure the motorcycle was not stolen. When asked why that concern arose, she pointed to the low price and the missing title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">But the verification did not happen in the way Judge Judy expected. Starbuck said she called a local pawn shop because she believed it could check the number. The pawn shop told her it could not perform the check unless the motorcycle was physically present. Starbuck then admitted that she \u201cblew it off,\u201d and the couple bought the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"899\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_108-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_108-1.png 899w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_108-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_108-1-767x575.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 899px) 100vw, 899px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The court later heard that a police officer had examined the motorcycle. The testimony became difficult to follow because the parties described different VIN information. Sole said the number discussed by the sheriff did not match the number O\u2019Ryan had provided. O\u2019Ryan, however, said the motorcycle returned to him carried the same VIN shown on his title and in a photograph attached to that evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy treated the ownership question as straightforward. O\u2019Ryan had reported a motorcycle stolen from his home in October 2017. The motorcycle in his possession matched the identifying information connected to his title. Unless the defendants could show that the motorcycle had been purchased at another time, the bike belonged to O\u2019Ryan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"895\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_109-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-893\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_109-1.png 895w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_109-1-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_109-1-767x577.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 895px) 100vw, 895px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A police report changes the timeline<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The most damaging contradiction involved the purchase date. Starbuck testified that the couple bought the motorcycle in mid-April 2018. Sole repeated that timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">O\u2019Ryan, however, presented a police report dated June 22. The report described an officer being dispatched on March 12 to speak with Starbuck. According to the narrative quoted in court, Starbuck invited the officer onto the property and into the backyard, where the motorcycle was loaded under a covered structure alongside other all-terrain vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"897\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_110-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-894\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_110-1.png 897w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_110-1-300x223.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_110-1-767x571.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">That created a direct problem. If the motorcycle was already at the couple\u2019s property in March, it could not have been purchased in mid-April in the manner described by Starbuck. Judge Judy asked Sole whether that meant his girlfriend had lied about when the motorcycle was acquired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sole answered that the couple had not received the motorcycle until they had paid the full $400. He said he had given Starbuck money to put down on it. That explanation did not resolve the discrepancy for the court. The police report placed the motorcycle at the property before the date both defendants had given for the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"898\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_111-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_111-1.png 898w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_111-1-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_111-1-767x573.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 898px) 100vw, 898px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The court also heard that Starbuck initially told police she did not know the seller\u2019s name. By the time of the hearing, she identified the seller as Mario and explained that he had been a former neighbor. Judge Judy questioned why those details had not been provided during the earlier police contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The judge then addressed Sole\u2019s behavior when officers came to the property. The report stated that Sole  arrived home and began yelling at the officer. He allegedly told the officer and a deputy multiple times to leave his property and said they were not welcome. Judge Judy said that reaction affected her assessment of his credibility, particularly because the motorcycle had entered the couple\u2019s possession without a title and under circumstances she considered questionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"897\" height=\"673\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_112-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_112-1.png 897w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_112-1-300x225.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_112-1-768x576.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Judge Judy rejects the longer story<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Sole maintained that he and Starbuck had been deceived. He denied lying and suggested that the VIN information given to them had not matched the motorcycle\u2019s true number. He also said that, during mediation, he became convinced that Starbuck had accidentally purchased O\u2019Ryan\u2019s motorcycle. He cited photographs, repair details, and a light on the bike as information that persuaded him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy did not accept that account. In her view, the central facts were simpler. O\u2019Ryan had recovered a motorcycle matching his title and VIN. The defendants had bought a damaged, untitled motorcycle for $400 from someone known to Starbuck. They had been advised to check whether it was stolen, but did not complete that check before buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The judge also rejected the idea that the defendants should be compensated for the motorcycle\u2019s original value. O\u2019Ryan had owned and used the bike for roughly eight or nine years. Judge Judy said the relevant issue was not what the motorcycle had cost nearly a decade earlier, but what it would reasonably take to repair it. During the hearing, she referred to a $1,000 repair figure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"901\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_113-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_113-2.png 901w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_113-2-300x224.png 300w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_113-2-767x572.png 767w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 901px) 100vw, 901px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The judgment and the unanswered question<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Judge Judy entered judgment for the plaintiff, Reed O\u2019Ryan. She dismissed Tim Sole\u2019s counterclaim, which included demands related to the cost of the bike, repair expenses, slander, and harassment. The transcript does not state a separate monetary award for O\u2019Ryan, so the exact amount of the judgment should not be inferred from the episode transcript alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The case left one major question unresolved: who originally took the motorcycle from O\u2019Ryan\u2019s yard? Judge Judy explicitly said she did not know whether Mario had stolen it or who had stolen it. The civil case was not a criminal investigation into Mario. Its narrower question was whether O\u2019Ryan had recovered his own property and whether Sole and Starbuck had a valid claim after buying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The answer in court was clear. The $400 purchase did not overcome the evidence tying the motorcycle to O\u2019Ryan. The missing title, the uncompleted check, the conflicting purchase date, and the police report all weakened the defendants\u2019 account. In the end, the bargain did not establish a competing claim to the motorcycle. It became the path by which O\u2019Ryan recovered his property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"893\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_114-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-898\" srcset=\"https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_114-1.png 893w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_114-1-768x575.png 768w, https:\/\/realcrime.rcdbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Screenshot_114-1-300x225.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 893px) 100vw, 893px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FAQ<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What was the Judge Judy dirt bike case about?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed O\u2019Ryan sued Tim Sole after a dirt bike stolen from O\u2019Ryan\u2019s backyard was found with Sole and Jessica Starbuck. The defendants said they had bought the damaged motorcycle for $400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When was the dirt bike stolen?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">O\u2019Ryan testified that it was stolen sometime between October 20 and October 28, 2017. Judge Judy summarized the theft as occurring in October 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much did Tim Sole and Jessica Starbuck pay for the motorcycle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They said they paid $400 for the damaged dirt bike. The motorcycle did not have a title at the time of the purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who sold the dirt bike to them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seller was identified as Mario. The transcript provides only his first name. Starbuck said she knew him from a restaurant and had previously known him as a neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Did Judge Judy find out who stole the motorcycle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. Judge Judy said she did not know whether Mario stole the motorcycle or who had taken it. The civil case focused on ownership and the return of the bike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who won the case?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reed O\u2019Ryan won the case. Judge Judy entered judgment for the plaintiff and dismissed Sole\u2019s counterclaim.
