A few years ago, bike enthusiast Bryan Hance got a tip. A whole bunch of expensive bikes that were stolen in the Bay Area had suddenly turned up ... for sale on a Facebook page in Mexico. The revelation started Bryan down a years-long investigation where he would uncover an intricate, large-scale criminal operation out of Jalisco, Mexico. In today's episode, we talk to freelance reporter Christopher Solomon who wrote about Hance's journey in WIRED Magazine. Related episodes: Is retail theft getting worse?
