High-end bike thefts in LA

Thieves target high-end bikes in LA


I'm glad these guys were caught. Fronting for the bicycle equivalent of a chop-shop operation, they stole bikes worth thousands of dollars just to get a few hundred. More than the money, though, they stole someone's passion.
The lead of the story has a passage about a 14-year old whose bike was stolen. I certainly hope they are able to recover most of the bikes, although chances are many have already been broken down into components.
