The bike shop says the value of the bike has dropped from $5000 to $4000

I bet if they acted while this news story was still hot they could sell that bike for $5500 (while still making the repairs needed of course)

Just promote it as "The stolen bike that's been on the news all over the world can be yours!" and there will be someone who thinks that's worth a few extra bucks for the story that goes with it.

I mean...it might now work out. But it can't hurt. Worth a shot. Could even say the extra $500 would be donated to some related charity.

As fro the criminal mastermind thief.....play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.

I was thinking that it should almost be a felony to sell a WalMart bike.
