Easy to believe.

At Serotta we had trouble with frames/bikes being stolen in transit and we switched from boxes with our big logo on them to just plain boxes and the problem stopped.

Funny stuff happens in shipping.

Oakley

I believe it- At one point Oakley changed the labels on their shipping boxes to prevent theft.
Instead of say OAKLEY- with their address, the labels said something lie G&K industries with an address that was somewhere else in So. Cal.
