Bike Shop Thieves

[terrabike01]

That sucks but too bad shoplifting has been decriminalized

Two months later and this is happening almost on a daily basis in Cali. Even if they are caught they are out before the police report is filed. Sad...

Can you install an electric lock at the door, when engaged by a barrage of weird question lock the door and wait for the thief to try and get through with a bike?

Lock the door and then do a Bronx Tale on them

HAAA I was going to write that line. The best line from the whole movie by far. Do the same to the bike thieves.

Why not just cable the expensive bikes to their stands in the stores? But no need to cable the bikes with the tan wall tires. They're not going to want those 😁

Classic cinematography.

Ive talked to a few folks about taping Apple Air Tags under the seat or figuring out a way to get to one in the seat tube. This way it communicates with every iPhone. Not like tile where it only works with those who have the Tile app. Then you have a shot to find any stolen bike....

Attention other shops...we just had an attempted break in/theft DURING NORMAL SHOP HOURS. We had 1 guy speaking Spanish (lets call him dirtbag1) distracting one of my staff asking a bunch of dumb questions while another accomplice (dirtbag 2) kept coming in and out (apparently he was the lookout). At the same time, someone was trying to pry open the back door. Thankfully, our neighbor saw something fishy, and chased the guy away. When he came into alert us, the Dirtbag twins took off. He caught them on video getting into the Silver SUV with Florida plates (he has a clear shot of the plate) as they took off. Since we are directly across from the Courthouse, who have EXCELLENT cameras, as well as all of the video we and the neighbors have, the police have plenty to work with. Stay alert guys!

I have an alibi

I guess much like the real life events it describes, the article left me with a sour taste in my mouth...
