It's not my usual style to post a news article, especially one that doesn't focus on any specific bikes, but read these quotes and try not to read the rest of the article:
"What exactly was he planning to do with 2,865 bicycles?"
"An additional 200 bikes were seized in Mr. Kenk’s home. Ten landlords around the city reported that their garages had been rented by Mr. Kenk and were bulging with bicycles. As the police gathered the mounds of bikes, they also found cocaine, crack cocaine, about 15 pounds of marijuana and a stolen bronze sculpture of a centaur and a snake in battle."
