At least three Silicon Valley bike shops were hit by smash-and-grab burglaries in current weeks and thieves absconded with tens of thousands of dollars worth of apparatus, authorities said.
The latest break-in occurred May 3 at the Cupertino Bike Shop, where about $26,000 worth of merchandise was stolen or injured, the store's owners said.
Two other burglaries occurred hours apart on April 28 when $7,000 worth of merchandise was stolen from the Evolution Bike Shop in Cupertino, and $8,000 worth of gear was swiped from the Calabasas Bike Shop in San Jose.
Authorities have no suspects, and bike owners are sending out e-mail alerts to keep other owners side by side of new break-ins and checking online auction Web sites for the stolen bikes.
"We honestly don't know what's going on," said Robert Cormia, a co-owner of the Calabasas store. "But it's getting quite worrisome."
