I'm curious because I don't see many suspicious bikes on the local CL. Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for ... also, that's the only place I ever see/notice used bikes, so there may be other "outlets" available. Pawn shops seem to take some risk as well if they are handling stolen goods.
Given the number of bike thefts they must be going somewhere!
PS. I'm not looking for a hot bike, just curious
There are three Flea Market here that has bike for sale on the weekend. There's been many stories told about most bike sold are hot.
When I am not riding, I have been approached by folks driving a pickup truck offering to sell me a bike. I bet those bike were stolen within the hour.
