Bike Theft Up in Bellingham

So says the Herald, per the police.
I can speak from experience that it's parts as well as whole bikes that are being targeted.

Note this line: "...U-locks are still the best theft-prevention tool on the market, because of their shape and their durability."
Makes me feel vindicated for crusading for bike racks you can actually use a u-lock with.

Thanks to the Herald's Caleb Hutton for the story.
