It turns out bikes are also popular with burglars. Investigators launched a two month investigation at the end of August that included several undercover buy operations that netted them four bicycles and ultimately led them to the Burlingame home of 48 year old Israel Hernandez."In the search of Mr. Hernandez's home they discovered various stolen bicycles as well as one stolen motorized scooter," said officer Tiffany Hang from San Francisco's police department.
