It's a good thing thieves are greedy. Some of them can't just settle for their neighborhood fence who pays pennies on the dollar and passes the goods on to unscrupulous second-hand stores. Instead, they try selling it themselves on eBay or Craigslist -- where their victims are eagerly awaiting.

The latest case comes from BikePortland, where Mike Kloeppel found his stolen high-end bike parts listed on eBay. Portland Police arranged a stakeout and got their suspect.

Less than two weeks ago, we did a similar story on a chop shop busted when a victim found parts from his custom car on Craigslist.
