I don't think he sells much of the higher end stuff like he used to. That may be because they were less popular or because maybe they were more stand-outish, so the real owners might recover them. I mean, if you own a Pinarello, you will likely have the serial number written down somewhere and a description of it but how many Supercycle owners go to the trouble?
Back in the day there was a white van (nondescript kidnap special) that would come to town twice a year and rip off free locked messenger rides from MTL to bring them here, and vice versa..... never did figure out who it was, but there are theories. My bud came out of the stock exchange tower just in time to see a guy literally throw it into the van and jet off. They'd stick around for two weeks in the spring and the fall and then vanish.
