Bike jacking, that's really pushing the limit, unfortunately even if caught it's likely considered a misdemeanor crime unless force was used
any stolen bike should be a felony charge

1 Peugeot, gave to girlfriend, it was stolen in Hawaii.

3 Centurion, bike jacked while I was riding it.
4 Pegasus, chained to a post, with 4 cops on the intersection. They left the chain and lock.
5 Bianchi, taken from garage that I believe was locked.
It's been a while since I've lost a bike, fingers crossed.
