Spent the morning at the Laney market. Many, many stolen bikes there. Even met a girl who recovered hers today.

The amount of stolen property there is staggering. Everything from shelves full of Aspirin and other drugstore goods to high-end bikes to stacks of new jeans. Everyone from your independent crackhead (using that term generically) to high level ORC (organized retail crime) outlets.

Knowing this place exists gives me hope that my girl will show up there eventually. I just have to stay persistent.

FYI, I'm putting together a group of past, present, and future victims to volunteer an hour or two perusing these markets on the weekends. We will catalog the make, model and color of bikes we see and post them en mass directly to Craigslist. If you are interested in helping cut off the fuel for the bike theft industry via re-uniting owners with their bikes, please contact me.

Thanks,
Brian
