Yes, Kudos to REI for the excellent photo. Also, it appears he’s a fan of In-N-Out.


I think I can identify the person that stole the mountain bike, it’s the guy in the picture now go get him or does someone need to physically hold him till the police show up?


$30 cordless angle grinder at Harbor Freight and you’re in business. REI probably good hunting grounds, high end customers and their bikes.


Finally a decent photo that doesn’t look like it was taken with a potato.


Yeah, he’s a white guy
