GS parts stolen right off bike?

[suzukitron]

I have had my 82 GS 1100 at my friends garage for over 4 months.
I decided it was time to try and get that thing running so I could sell it.

Upon arrival I noticed the seat was removed, and the two plastic side panels were also removed. On the left a couple of thin tubes were left hanging.

I know nothing about the inner workings parts that might be missing. Do you think you could help me out and spot whatever you may think is missing?
Sorry for the horrendous quality pictures in advance

Thanks from a bummed and saddened GS friend.

On left side I see sparkplug wire hanging.
Are the spark plugs broken off? I have heard of spark plugs being broken off, cuz some folks want the ceramic part for some sort of drug smoking thingy.

Seat taken off. That must have taken some prying (unless they had the key).

Where in general are you located?

Looks like the airbox with the filter is missing.

Battery and battery box.

Looks like the ignitor is also missing

That is one h*ll of a first post on this forum.
It is possibly the worst first post ever!
Move your bike and get rid of them as "friends"!
Surely, you can find some enemies that will treat your property better.

Now why would anyone want to take those parts unless they wanted to sell them? E-bay, Craigslist. An awful thing to do. You need new friends.

No my friends are not to blame I asked if I could store it there knowing full well that the garage faces an open ally. Hollywood/Los Angeles

What does the ignition and spark Plugs look like? I am mechanically impaired.
Is it a cheap replacement? And is it something I can do myself?
Do I need to tow this to a mechanic since I don't know how many things are missing?

Yea I wanted my first post to be a for sale posting since I don't ride anymore.

Sorry for your loss but at least you still have the bike.

1982... I don't think so.

Set of sparkplugs $10.
Pair of side covers $80 off E-bay.
Seat $100 off E-bay.
A friend that will lock the garage door, priceless.

Sorry for your loss but at least you still have the bike.

But before you start shopping for replacement parts you should know that the bike pictured is NOT a 1982. Check the headstock (steering head), I believe you'll find that its a 1981.
