My incident was just how Lee describes it. I had heard there was a rash of Richmond/Inner Sunset bike thefts and made steps to secure them. All three bikes where ulocked to each other and the bunch was tethered to a beam in my garage. Two other bikes where in the garage, unlocked and untouched. The thieves only took the high end (or fancy looking) bicycles. When I filled out a police report the officer confirmed that they had a suspect in custody but thefts were still happening which probably means there is a group of people stealing bicycles.
