Good to hear that from a local. Even a fence would not dump a stolen bike for
$30! I have always favored independent store owners -- like bike shops -- and
such a shop is a value to the community. Still, it bears looking into.

It sounds to me like the hardware store owner is pretty much a fence for
bicycle thieves, and maybe other goodies. I'd boycott that place and put out
the word for others to do the same. No telling what he's stashed in his back

I would rather not separate myself from cars, definitely want other cars to

I have to agree with John; I'd rather be seen as different and even

over 10 years ago when I used an early NR arc light system (POS, apart from

For what it's worth, I know that hardware store and know some of the

story for the cops.
