Stolen Wrap BMX?

I saw an ad on Craigslist for a Stolen Wrap BMX bicycle. Since I have never heard of the Stolen Wrap before, I assumed this was an ad to sell a Stolen bicycle.

You got to wonder what goes through a markets mind when they decided to go with Stolen. Or is this the family name of some person?

And I thought Giant was a strange name for a bicycle.

In general BMX bikes are marketed to younger people, who may think that these are sick names. Some of the BMX bikes have some very interesting names .

If a can of spray paint and a stencil adds 100 Dollars to the value of some poor sucker out there, they're going to do it.
