From "Tempe Campus Bike Thief Sentenced To State Prison":
Following on the heels of Michelle's epic Craigslist recovery (which got a nice fat mention in The Stranger) it has been a good couple of weeks for catching thieves ...An Arizona judge sentenced a 49-year-old Phoenix man to more than three years in state prison last week for theft and trafficking of bicycles stolen from ASU’s Tempe campus, ASU Police Cmdr. Jim Hardina said on Monday.
Donald George Candea was arrested on Feb. 26 after ASU student James Weiser located his own stolen bike on Craiglist and helped to thwart a trafficking operation on campus.
Also, thanks to Marti for pointing me towards The Problem of Bicycle Theft, from the Center for Problem-Oriented Policing.
It's pretty hard to nail down a well-written, comprehensive look at the bike theft problem - let alone find one with references - which is why this is my favorite link for a while. Covers everything from locking schemes to RFID to registries. Good stuff.
