As much as I normally hate political/police over-reactions of anything because it's digital, I think it's not reasonable to make a tickets--bike comparison. They weren't there because someone stole theatre tickets, they were there because someone stole credit card numbers - which is more serious, largely because it's a lot more scalable than stealing a bike.

I think it is fair comparison. There are gangs stealing bikes, it is also frequently target to vandalism. And it is scalable to the level, that is not safe to leave your bike without lock. Also article only talks about single credit card. We should not make difference between crimes, just because one has strong bank lobby behind it.

    It's pretty easy to sell bikes...We have several specialty bike stores around here and if you walk in with a decent road bike in good condition you can walk out with $500 easily.
