I TiVo'd the show and watched the newscast.

Here's a link where you can get the "backstory" -- http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?sec...cal&id=4203300

The high points:

The high end bikes are targets for thieves. One poor guy had his Trek Madone stolen, bought a replacement, and had it stolen.

Police recover some of the stolen bikes, but you need to know the serial number to claim it.

Bikes are stolen from homes (people case the bike paths for high end bikes and follow the people home), but they're also stolen from public places. As in, COFFEE STOPS!

Stolen bikes are sold for pennies on the dollar. They said something about $40 for a high end bike.

Get a lock and use it! It might not save your bike, but it will give the thief a bit of trouble, so they might go after another bike instead.

Be safe out there!
