How about this for stupid. A guy I went to school with smashed the window of Europa Cycles in the city, stole a Colnago Special Edition time trial road bike, the only one in Australia. Then tried to sell it to Europa Cycles at Kingsford. The guys at Kingsford, told him to come back in an hour and the boss would have the money for it. The guy comes back in an hour, meets the "boss" who just happens to be a local copper.

Go straight to gaol.

Never underestimate the stupidity of thieves, if they were smart they'd be able to get real jobs...

i think you guys are jumpin to conclusions there. he might not like the bike or like how it feels.

if it was stolen he would probably be selling it dirt cheap, not for $4000.
