Police raid house that had so many stolen bikes they could be seen on Google Maps

Neighbours told the Oxford Mail they can see the property's garden from their windows and noted how they saw police at the address sorting through the bikes on March 17.

Given the sheer volume seen on Google Maps, it sounds like officers have quite the task on their hands.

 

...this is funny. :lol:  When the police stolen property warehouse collection of bikes got to large for the space in Sacramento, they used to bring a truckload over to the bike co-op and give them to us.

What happened to the name and mugshot?

Police arrested a 54-year-old Oxford man on suspicion of handling stolen goods and possession of the criminal property.

Or even just as part of the headline:

It reminds me of Ben Miller's character "Stewart, the Forest Ranger" in the BBC Series Doc Martin, who has an imaginary friend who is a 6' tall Red Squirrel named Anthony. Stewart is angry because he says the gray squirrels are driving the reds to extinction and shoots at them.  He has mental issues that began during some unspecified trauma when he was in the British Army and served with the UN Peacekeeping Mission during the war in Bosnia.  Everyone in town knows about Stewart's friend Anthony and figures it's no problem.  Doc Martin, new in town, has no information about Stewart.

I think Ben Miller is one of the best actors I've ever seen.  He starred as DI Richard Poole in the first few years of the BBC series Death in Paradise and as scientist James Lester in the BBC Sci-Fi series Primeval.

He occasionally appeared on Doc Martin.  The part of the episode from 24:45 to 27:50 below is hilarious and creepy at the same time:
