I saw a special on this last year. The guys used a small box van and 3 of them would pick the bike up and throw it in the back. They would even take the time to cut a chain, and wheel locks were useless because they picked the bike up. To ensure a quick sale, the average asking price for a stolen bike was $1 per cc.

they probably wouldn’t ever get caught if they scoped out the bikes they were stealing for cameras pointing directly at them first lol

I wanted to see the part of the video when the guy comes back and there is no bike.

I guess if they just pick up the bike, there is no way around having it stolen?

Disk brake w/screeching alarm? It would at least be another deterrent.

LOL at the comments

“danm niggers, there only good at stealing shit and having aids”

I would be SO pissed if that was my bike, if the cops ever caught the dudes, they should be handcuffed to a bench and the guy who had is bike stolen should be able to have at them with his helmet and rear sprocket 🙂

Why would they get a job when they can make 7 grand in about 1 minute?

The cops were too busy out patroling the highways looking for speeders :putsflamesuiton:

Always lock it to something more permanent. Even if they cut the chain it adds valuable seconds to the time it takes them to steal it.

1200lb bike \> thieves… good luck picking it up.
