Yup, pieces of **** are everywhere. Whoever has them may have a hard time unloading them due to the custom paint etc. Hopefully he can get them back, but they will likely be altered in one form or other.

This sure seems to have been much too fast and specific to be anything but a pre-meditated and well-organized act. I wonder if "collectors" are somehow behind it, and the bicycles will never be seen again.

Hope a cyclist sees them, follow them to their cave. Call the rest of the gang of cyclists, knock the door... push their way in.... tie the scumbags to a chair with tape in their eyes and mouths so they dont scream...

Get the bikes out that place... get whatever else they can off that place including their game systems... then beat the crap out of them using wet towels, legs, back, arms, the butt and even their face (no markings, but hell they will remember everytime they are being touched or go to take a dump).

While all of that is going on, put sugar in their cars, run the cars for 15 minutes, that will do enough for them to remember even more when they cant go out.

Then, before leaving the house, leaving the door open, drop some cannabis around and call the cops about canabis and some weird noises.

The story will be so unbelievable that the cops will just take them


ps: in my country better not be found with the stuff you stole, because probably you will be dropped in downtown naked and tied a light pole. And try to explain the cops what happened.

With this kind of theft, I wonder why aren't more people installing tracker in their bikes?

Something like a GPS locator installed inside your seat tube/seat post of even inside the BB might do the trick.

Biggest crime is the colorway on that Red Hook bike. Gave me a seizure and I had to scratch out an eye

Thieves suck, have your head on a swivel. Someone stole my roller and tool box last summer. Along with all the tools, sentimental value. I had an ISDE sticker for every year beginning with 1978, that bummed the most as insurance can't cover that

Man that sucks.

My bikes are protected behind a 3 layered security system. Thieves should be removed from society.
