Cycling in Waterloo Region

37 charges laid over 3 days with a single bait bike? That's a staggering rate. They should do that all the time.

How does anyone get money for used bike parts if there are so many thefts? Shouldn't a flooded market mean prices falling below the level that it's worth the effort?

Since the cost and risk to steal a bike is so low there's nothing really stopping people from doing it. There are chop shops out there always buying parts to re-assemble stolen bikes and move them out of the area so it's harder to track them down.
