Nobody wants to have their bike stolen. Especially not if you’ve got a bike worth a lot of money.

Boulder Police suspect two brothers of successfully going on a little spree in town — to the tune of 65 bike thefts.

Detectives said the Odea brothers were different from other bike thieves because they targeted high-end bikes strapped to vehicles in the downtown Boulder area, and they did most of their work during the day in public.

If you’re missing a bike, as I am (though mine was certainly not worth a lot of money), you might do well to check out the Boulder Police Department’s property and evidence list. Hopefully, you’d registered your bike and already reported it stolen. You would have if you’d read my guide to (sigh) living with bike theft.
