A number of stolen vehicles have been recovered from Dellen Millard’s hangar, Hamilton police have confirmed.

The development came the same day Toronto police completed their search of the murder suspect’s farm, where Tim Bosma ’s charred remains were found. Police spent at least two days scouring the property in Ayr, near Waterloo, but refused to discuss details of the search.

One of the vehicles recovered at the Waterloo airport hangar earlier this month is a $35,000 Harley-Davidson belonging to Marty MacDougall. The Toronto resident said he advertised his motorcycle on Kijiji last fall before pulling his ad from the site.

The motorcycle sat inside his trailer when both were stolen from the driveway behind his home on King St. E. shortly after he pulled the ad, he said.

While in Ireland, MacDougall received a text from Hamilton police saying they found his motorcycle, but it was in pieces with the serial numbers scratched off except for one he placed on the seat. That’s how police found MacDougall.

“It’s just a bike,” MacDougall said. “It’s nothing compared to what the Bosmas are going through now. They’ll never get Tim back.

“This is sad, really sad.”

Bosma went missing May 6 after taking two men for a test drive in his Dodge Ram pickup truck. It was the last time his family ever saw him again. Bosma had also advertised his truck for sale online, including Kijiji.

Millard, 27, has been charged with first-degree murder, along with Mark Smich, 25.

Millard’s lawyer, Deepak Paradkar, was surprised to hear police discussing the vehicles.

“I would have thought that if they’re trying to build a case they would have kept everything as evidence,” said Paradkar. “Crown counsel hasn’t told me about any additional charges.”

On Thursday, Toronto police were back at the farm scouring an area behind a dilapidated barn. They dug several giant holes with a backhoe before filling them back in.

Toronto police are also continuing to investigate the disappearance of Laura Babcock, whose final calls were to Millard last July, as well as the apparent suicide of Millard’s father, Wayne, last November.

Hamilton police wouldn’t get into details of the number and nature of the vehicles. They are still trying to find their owners, but said there are fewer than 10.

Meanwhile, MacDougall told the Star he’s sifting through the parts of his bike, which have been returned to him, but doesn’t yet have all of them. Some have been painted, he said, while others appear in good condition.
