My family used to go camping around Quincy and Graeagle when I was a kid. Quincy's a really small town (about 1,700) , way up in the northern Sierras. There's one not-very-big state highway going through town. If you stole somebody's bike, there's a not-zero chance that both the victim and the local cops would know exactly where to find you.
