Bummer, hope the owner can recoup the costs in insurance, and that the dirty thief is caught promptly. Often times thats not the case though...

First impressions: 1) He knew what he wanted and where it was. 2) given that, he might be a regular customer or a former employee. 3) He planned this. 4) He is obviously young. 5) Don't all bikes have a code that can be used to trace them? All this might be mute if he has left town for good. Hope he is caught though.

What I see & speculate: He knows the shop, what he wanted and went straight to it. Fully covered for the cameras. He's been there before, probably earlier the same day. Maybe he dropped a bike off earlier for service and you'll see him back in a few days playing dumb about the news. He may start the conversation by asking about one of the bikes that was stolen like, "I was looking at that Tarmac the other day..." You know him. Sleeves make me think he could be covering identifiable marks like tattoos. Pants tucked into tall boots, shirt tucked in so I would suspect a military background. Reservist? All speculation though. Every bike shop I've worked in have been robbed multiple times. Time for security gates, but you have a nice camera. Good luck! 326 - The code on all bikes is the Serial Number which is included in the post (S/N).

Sounds like the guy isn't much of a bike person. Tarmac is a nice bike, but apex being bottom of the sram line, he won't get much for the parts. Secteur isn't a bad bike, but not top of the heap either. If I were the thief, I'd go straight for the tarmac with the red/DA gruppo. The components would be worth far more than the frame itself. No serial numbers to boot.

Wow. In & out in 30 seconds? I'm chiming in with the "he knew the place & what he wanted" crowd. Good luck finding him.

313: I think it is possible he did know what to grab. A top of the line bike it would be much easier to identify because of the rarity, whereas a mid range bike would be common, and more sellable.

465: Components are components, as I stated they don't have serial numbers like the frames. He stole a top of the line frame, which is a tough sell due to its red flag, but it has the bottom of the barrel components. The hardest thing to sell is the frame, whereas top of the line components could be gone this afternoon at the right price. What I'm trying to say is... There are more people looking for a good deal on top of the line components than a good deal on bottom of the line components. People who buy top of the line components generally have the cash to burn, and if a good deal comes along, will bite. These types of "brand new used" parts sales are common wish part takeoffs on new bikes.

This guy definitely planned this burglary in that he brought a 65 lb. rock to smash in the door window. When he discovered that the door had a double cylinder deadbolt, he was able to lift this rock at least chest high to systematically smash out the large window next to the door. A close up, slo-mo viewing of the security video does show he also dressed for his brief moment in front of the cameras. Note the camo pants, neatly bloused into what appear to be combat boots, all accessorized with with pro burglar hood with eye socket cutouts & long sleeve, dark jacket & gloves. Yep, "as seen on TV" or in the cartoons. I agree this chump had been to the store prior to the hit, but really wonder how much he knows about bikes based upon what he took while the alarms were blaring & the police & owner were being notified. Yep, smart, really smart. Here's to enjoying seeing this idiot's mug & name on EdHat in the very near future.

What a greedy little boy, to think that he has the right to steal bikes or anything else from another. What, you didn't get enough toys from your Mommy and Daddy, so you think you can just help yourself? And, you can't go out and work for your own money and buy your own bike? One day, Sonny Boy, you will end up in prison.

OLDLAWOMAN, let's hope this punk ends up in prison soon. His mug here on EdHat will be sweet victory for the law abiding citizens out here that pay their own hard earned money for their bikes. "Book him, Danno!"

@296380 Most of your speculation is baseless. You might be right about some things, but the evidence is not adequate for the inferences.
