It's ironic you say that, though. Last year I was riding to work on the interstate and I had to pull over to the berm because stuff was about to fly out of the sidecar. (I now have a cover for the sidecar.) I was busy securing the items and didn't even see the highway patrolwoman walk up from behind me. She asked what was wrong and I told her that I just needed to secure some of the load. She stuck around until I pulled away.
About a minute later, I saw flashers and the same patrolwoman pulled me over. She stated that they had a report of a stolen bike matching my bike's description. I bought the bike used from a private seller and started imagining the worst when she came back and told me I was in the clear. I told her that I was appreciative of the fact that the highway patrol would check for stolen motorcycles and hoped it would never happen to me.
