True enough, but I don't trust sheeps either; they're hiding something in all that wool and generally up to no good. :D

=================================================

Hey everyone,
The Bike Lane got nabbed on Friday night. Please keep a look out for these bikes. For those who shop places like Ebay you may come across some of these bikes please let us know. There will most likely be a $1000 reward from Crime Solvers and a reward from The Bike Lane if these bikes are recovered. (Of course, we are not holding our breath for that).

Thanks,
Anne

then we suspect rode them off... but they left the serial numbers and stuff so thats good....

that would have been neat to see... a couple of guys riding off on 23 bikes. i have a hard time riding 2 at once, they must be circus performers!!

EDIT: damien beat me to it :mumble:

[formerly poobah]

doubt it was a couple... then we found clues in the neighborhood behind the shop, so they probably road them to some large vehicle.... looked professional "pre-meditated meanness"

that is totally f'ed up. my condolences to all those beautiful bikes. i hope those bastards get caught! the bike lane is the best shop in the n.va area (IMHO).
