Bikes: Lots

I've been in this town for close to 20 years now. And about every 3 years we get a band of gypsies come through and cause havoc to retailers. They perform smash and grabs, go to department stores, walk in, grap an entire armful of mechandise and run out all in about 30 secs. Last time they came through about 10 bike shops in the area were hit from Friday night to Monday morning. Stole only high end mountain bikes and sunglass display cases. Gone by the time the cops arrived. One shop owner was so concerned, he slept in his shop for a week! The bummer of it all was that the amount stolen at each shop didn't meet the deductable and the owner's had to eat their loses!
