apparently this has been all over craigslist, but i can't stand the "forums" there, so i just found this out this morning...
berkeley PD raided karim's shop on wednesday... ended up taking a handful of bikes that had serials that were reported stolen, or had been altered or removed...
i found a stolen bike of mine there, but didn't have the serial number so i couldn't do anything about it... same thing has happened to other people i know...
now if it could just get taken one step further karim would be hung... happy days...
