Colorado Springs Bike Shop Theft

I have many memories of my first season racing in Colorado (1995) and one is of a cocky guy with very nice bike equipment, Reese Houghton. Reese was from Colorado Springs and worked for Colorado Cyclist, a giant online cycling store. He always had the nicest stuff and a cute girl by his side.

So now it turns out he's a crook and got caught steeling over $380,000 worth of cycling goods from a local store in Colorado Springs and then selling it on EBAY. Having worked in a bike store I know it's a tough business to keep afloat and then you get a guy like this undermining the entire operation. I hope he gets what is coming to him.
