Stolen Bicycles

Yesterday in the New York Times I came across: In a Cyclist-Friendly City, a Black Hole for Bikes

That is just one of many questions the police and others have been puzzling over since the arrest last month of Igor Kenk, the owner of a used-bike shop here.

Mr. Kenk’s legacy now fills a former police garage with a leaky roof. Organized by brand name and mostly resting on their handlebars, wheels pointed upward, are 2,396 of the bicycles that police say Mr. Kenk either stole or arranged to have stolen.

An owner of a used bicycle shop has 2,396 stolen bikes in his procession? Does he have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) or is he just a piece feces? I think he is a piece of sh*t and deserves much more than he will receive.

To help reduce and recover stolen bicycles in Portland there is Finetoothcog, a listing service for stolen bikes, which scans craigslist and ebay for these bikes.
