Its been a long while since I saw the episode, and I dont recall the
jacket 
of the representation. Some possibilities:

1) he was a fan of the bike
2) he was an Indians fan
3) he was native american
4) he just liked the design
5) he stole the jacket because he wanted to be warm and couldnt care less 
about the design

had he changed? sure, I'll buy that. it is not uncommon at all for
substance 
abusers to get clean and change their lives

as for Richie - of course he did the right thing. in any society, there is

the rule of  law. those who take the law into their own hands are every
bit 
as dangerous and destructive as those who break the law.
