Probably.

Bike thieves should be hung.

I'm sure he just wants the money to buy himself a helmet.

Reminds me of a hispanic guy I saw in my neighborhood on a nice Felt a few weeks ago. Seat was lowered all the way so his knees were kicking out side to side as he rode. And yet it had some really nice aerobars on it. Kinda makes you wonder why he would need aerobars if he can't even get the seat adjusted properly...

I don't know why the news felt it necessary to mention his method of transportation, but meh.. bike thieves suck the big one. Saw a cracked out/spaced out/drunk native this weekend with a nice Specialized rockhopper (discs and all), asked him how much he paid "got a deal" I was like "oh yeah? where from?" he simply replied "from a buddy" - it did take him a while to comprehend what I was saying to him. Bleh.
