Just heard that my local Helen's Cycles in Marina Del Rey got looted the other night. The thieves took a bunch of really high end Colnagos, Pinarellos, and Cervelos. If you see some deals on Craigslist or Ebay that look too good to be true, they probably are. Contact the store and let them know.

Which one? The one on Lincoln or the one at La Villa Marina?

Might be hard to recover them if they are selling the parts or selling the bikes in another city or state. Have been seeing bare frames being dumped into alleys lately, although they are mostly the Wal*Mart variety and look new. The scrap metal guys usually pick them up on trash days.
