MANILA - Officials say an $80,000 motorcycle stolen in Texas last year from Hollywood screenwriter Skip Woods has been recovered in the southern Philippines.

National Bureau of Investigation regional chief Jose Justo Yap says the custom-made chopper was found Tuesday in Cagayan de Oro city.

Woods wrote the screenplays for "Swordfish," "Hitman" and "X-Men Origins: Wolverine."

An American private investigator representing Woods says the screenwriter was surprised to learn that his motorcycle was found half way around the world.

Yap said Thursday police were looking for a Filipino who was offering to sell the motorcycle and other luxury vehicles.
