The cops seized up an (estimated) 1500 bikes. That doesn’t mean all 1500 are/were stolen. My guess is that the 150 listed would be more correct.

I’ve seen the place too. (Used to live not too far from it) and I can barely believe that that fuckwit lowlife Igor even managed to get that many bikes in that tiny little rat hole of a “shop”.

For background, this wasn’t a “real” bike shop. More like the bastard child of a inner city pawn shop and an antique store from the wrong side of the tracks.
But instead of ugly lamps and logo’d mirrors won at carnival dart games it had bike shaped objects instead.

As to the bikes most of them were total junk. Think 30yr old unidentifiable beater, one piece crank with missing bearings on one side of the bb, the other side seized with rust, bent, rusted chrome handlebars, bent forks, missing seat, type bikes.

Also… this proves that sometimes… every so often, the system does work in our favor. Now there are only 42-bajillion more bike thieves to get rid of.

Canadian legal system will have those guys on the streets in less than 5. What are the logistics for claiming your bike back. Um yeah I had that Cervelo back there along with that ti mtb.

I would think the industry and focus required to steal that many bikes would sorta indicate that they probably were not that wasted. I mean, don’t ya wanna say, goddamn, Igor, you must get up early in the morning and turn in a full day before you knock off. I mean, sure you are a thief, but goddamn, a a hard working thief. And they look like mostly low-end street bikes, shit..ya gotta figure shop time on time on top of that.
The Winners of the bright orange jersey,….er..jumpsuit.
And Igor just oughtta have a hump and a limp.
