That, or he's part of the VW subculture that apparently puts racks on their cars just for the "look". Seriously, that's a thing.

THAT or he's just to lazy to remove them. Mine stay on my car and don't get used every week. Also not part of some subculture, but then again don't drive a VW so maybe I'm missing out?

That guy on eBay was without a doubt IMO the person who stole the bike. If it was me I just would have purchased any item he was selling then request his contact information. The guy was selling a ton of stuff like radar detectors that were probably stolen right out of cars as well. You can do the info request easily thru eBay - not sure how that affects the legal process at all, regardless, I never mentioned that on here. It seemed like STers are more interested in a good ol' twitch hunt when they are hunting one of their own rather than a twitch hunt where someone else is affected by a stranger.

I think the fact that she's already got a new bike from her sponsors somewhat diminishes the motivation/sympathy as well.

Don't get me wrong, I've been robbed a couple of times and the sense of invasion and injustice is quite unpleasant and lingers much longer, but at the end of the day she's back up and running and has probably largely moved on from it herself.

Might be a little bit of that but I'm not sure too many people knew she had a knew bike and on exactly at what terms. Regardless, bike thieves sucks, it is why I have a piece of junk commuter that nobody would wants to steal.

Yes. I didn't realize at first that she received a new bike. That does take some of the sting out of it. But if it was me I would still want this creep off the roads (and prosecuted). In fact I'm clear across the country and I want him off the streets!

Just the nerve of this guy who casually does this.

Any updates btw?

Maybe. But to me it looks like he is a not too smart opportunist and certainly not a ninja high tech thief.

So many people do not lock their cars, so it is easy picking....especially in well-off neighborhoods in the Bay area.
Advantage for them is that these owners are normally insured or can write it off, so they won't come after thieves with a vengeance.
And law enforcement is mostly fine with that, as it is less hassle and they can spend their time more useful to them (my own experience with forced entry into my own car).

And the suspicious user is from Oakland, CA.

Selling a shiv, intelliskin, and tons of random stuff that I can't imagine how somebody would acquire.

Like I mentioned, I would be shocked if that wasn't the guy. However it would be sad I guess if nothing could be done about it.

Does Specialized stamp a serial number to each frame's bottom bracket? If so we could ask the seller for the bottom bracket number and if its a match report it to eBay?

Yes I am sure they stamp a serial number but I am sure the guy would just lie or something. Regardless, this guy has a pretty rare item that was stolen from Sarah's possession, he is selling a boat load of stuff that you would think would all be stolen from cars and garage including numerous used radar detectors. I am not sure what is necessary for warrant etc thru probable cause, but it seems if the police would have enough to bust this guy for Sarah's and another 50 heists.

I know ebay launches their own fraud investigations separate from law enforcement. IE with their own investigators.

If you have a good reasoning for thinking a user is selling stolen goods, ebay WILL look into it. They take it very seriously.

Paypal (owned by ebay) is also notorious for "freezing funds first and ask questions later".

And since Sarah reported this find of what's most likely her stuff to the police, they're hopefully doing their jobs of tracking this guy down instead of eating donuts.

I must say, it's rather sloppy on his part to post all of the items he steals under one account.

Can't imagine a more suspicious looking group of items for auction. Sure hope they do something.
