Hey guys I was looking for a bike to buy on Craigs list (because it has been way to fucking long since i have been on ride) and i came across two posts that just seemed fucking fishy
A guy near USC is selling a ton of bikes, and theres something inside me saying that these bikes might be stolen.... take a look

what private used bike dealer doesn't look sketchy.
every shop or dealer that deals with alot of used bikes is accused of or "suspected" of dealing stolen bikes.
I'm sure it happens, but i'd need a bot more evidence that a bike has been stolen.
That said, every used bike dealer should be forced to enter a bike's serial numbers into a registry, so there is some kind of track. Any dealer who doesn't do this would be suspect. right now, suched registries exist but, nobody does it.

I figure if the seller was part of a theft ring or something, they wouldn't have an open house selling bikes out of their own home. If anyone came by and found their own bike there, it'd be game over in a big way. I somehow doubt they'd be
that dumb...

don't underestimate the stupidity of crimmials....
does anyone know the theft recovery unit in LAPD, this should be passed onto them.

That guy has been around forever.... I think he use to own a bike shop but then started dealing bikes out of his house.
