i think i know what particular one you are talking about. did you see the you tube video about this guy? (under hoarding) he is this old white guy living in compton (...) and they finally came in to clean up the mess. the whole thing was kinda creepy to watch, and afterwards they limited him to ONLY 15 bikes. it wasn't untill like minute 2 or 3 do they get into all the bikes, and at the end THEY THREW THE AWAY! sad, on a few different levels.

The wording was "5000 bikes and bike parts" (my underlining), so I assume that the 5000 included bike parts and did not just refer to 5000 bikes - which might be considered a little excessive by some forumers
