Take a Rolex off someone's arm outside a posh nightclub. Still worth more than some moody road bike and doing it in broad daylight with a machete? Like I said, if you're gonna go to the extreme these guys have, do something worth some real money. Rob a drug dealer or ram raid a booze store or something ffs. Waving a machete around only to then wait for an ebay auction for your "rode biek" to finish is ridic.
Not really.
Jewellers well protected.
CCTV / alarms / safe / panic button etc.
Vehicles generally have anti theft devices / trackers etc.
A 5 / 10 K crabon biek can be serial scrubbed and made untraceable in an ebay auction near you.
They hit a guy with a brand new crabon dale. They know what they are doing. Selective.
Bike theft is as old as the hills. The price inflation has just made them moving targets.
Easy money.
