They are chop shops presumably because they chop the bike up into its constituent parts, of which only really the frame will have any sort of marking or serial number.
- franciscop 10y agoYes but in this way, until it is all chop up it's easy to differentiate a stolen bike from a non-stolen bike. If the police just sees a bunch of parts then it's the same as now, but if they see someone chopping a bike they could consult the registration and inmediately check if the bike is stolen or not. I think one of the most important parts for organized stolen bikes is the frame while other parts are more for small-time things (correct me if I'm wrong).
