    What even happens to nice bikes that are stolen? They certainly don’t show up on the second-hand market for cheap.

      In my region, it seems that expensive stolen bikes mostly go to eastern Europe, Ukraine and Romania in particular.

          Not all of them, but some of them certainly can. It’s like everywhere. The fact that some people don’t make a lot of money doesn’t stop others from making heaps.
