Re: [Ebbc-Talk] Stolen bike markets in Oakland

Bryce - A couple of flea market dealers in stolen property are likely
contemplating new careers. Good investigative efforts by police have
recently led to arrests and recovery of numerous bicycles stolen by serial
thieves. Each case has been widely publicized. If your bicycle has been
stolen, you may find it posted in one the websites below.

Irving Morales-Sanchez (18) was arrested by San Francisco Police on May 17
after finding eight bicycles in his Silver Terrace home and an additional
106 bicycles in a storage locker in Oakland. Photos of 92 unclaimed bicycles
are posted at http://www.inglesidepolicestation.com/#!__bike-registration

BART Police arrested Brett Major (47) while in the act of stealing a bicycle
at 24th Street Station. A search of his home recovered 7 bicycles and parts
that are suspected to be stolen. Photos are posted at:
http://bart.gov/news/articles/2012/news20120612.aspx

To claim a bicycle you will need to show the police a theft report or show
proof of ownership. As a precaution, please record the serial numbers of
each of your bicycles.

Is there a way to get a LIST of all the stolen bike markets?
Could we start such a list on the EBBC website?
