They busted a guy who was supposedly stealing high end bikes around Austin. Scary thing is he was either befriending people through facebook or casing their houses through Craigslist. He also had the nerve to be active on the racing scene and stole bikes from the owners of one of the ranches. And he apparently had a bit of a history doing the same in Arizona. Hang 'em high!

There have been some pretty colorful suggestions on the local mountain bike forum. What kills me is he was well known in the community and caught because he scammed a buddy.
I am still not completely over getting my Huffy Colorwaves stolen in elementary school.

I hate bike thieves
Ya know I've been really super busy, not training like I should. I need to get back on the mat and train for my next Aikido test. That'd be sandan, 3rd degree black belt.
If he has a '97 Trek 420 with the green to purple face paint job, Mavic Open Sup pro rims, Shimano Ultegra throughout and Flightdeck ...

Check out this Craigslist posting. They have a video of the bike being stolen.

Maricopa too?
Hmmm... article says he has an outstanding warrant in "maricopa" AZ. Wonder if they mean the town, or the county?? If they mean the county, then they should bring him back here. Make him live in sherrif Joe's "Tent city" eating green baloney sandwhiches for a while!!

It sounds like he was active in Arizona before skipping town, you can look him up on USACycling and see he raced Crits back in AZ in 2006 (I think). The should make him wear pink boxers and live in a tent. That would be fitting. Rumor I hear is AZ won't expedite though.

That too, I am tired. I knew the word I wanted, just get asked to "expedite" things daily at work. I don't get orders to extradite anyone.
