No, it's not at all like this. Bikes are so ubiquitous here that before given this bike in for repair, the people would already have secured (likely already had) a spare bike for the duration of the repairs. And no, it's not theft, this is how bankruptcy works. All assets and _anything on the property_ is frozen, until creditors sort through it all. There's nothing illegal or dodgy going on, it's just that some people had the misfortune to have their bikes on the bankrupt companies property. _Man_, you guys like to complain about nothing.
