Area police are looking for two men who used stolen identities connected to the NFL to buy high-dollar motorcycles.

The motorcycles were purchased on Nov 13 and Nov 15 at Alef's Harley Davidson and Big Dog motorcycles, respectively.

The first case happened at Alef's in Park City when a man used the stolen identity of Gary Sayre, a former draft pick of the Washington Redskins. The man was allowed to leave with a Harley Davidson V-Rod - Night Rod, mostly black and chrome, with the vehicle identification number ending 8614.
The suspect in this case is a White Male 40's 5'5" tall, 180 pounds, blonde, with a goatee, and a rose tattoo on his left hand. His photo is shown below.

The 2nd case happened last Thursday at Big Dog, when a man claiming to be Dexter Coakley purchased a 2008 Big Dog motorcycle, valued at $35,000.

The "K-9" model chopper is silver in color with light blue skulls painted on it, and darker silver flames. It has a vehicle identification number ending with 0088, and had a thirty day KS tag number 017530. An image of that suspect on a security camera is shown below.

Coakley is a former Dallas Cowboy who most recently played with the St Louis Rams.

If anyone has information on this case, please contact the Auto Theft section of the Wichita Police Department at 316.268.4336, the Park City Police Department at 316.744.2011, or Crimestoppers at 316.267.2111.

Just the fact that these two were allowed to take these bikes without even checking them out is unbelievable. The RED flag should have been the fact they came wichita in the first place.
