San Francisco Man Charged With Bike Thefts

A man is facing severe theft charges after allegedly receiving stolen property. The San Francisco man pleaded not guilty to theft charges after being accused of buying or receiving stolen bikes, which police say victims have identified. The man and his attorney say he would take the bikes and refurbish them from people he thought were giving him or selling him the bikes legally. Reports say that authorities aren't sure if the man stole the bikes.

Crimes such as theft can hurt a person's image, and their ability to conduct business. Because police aren't sure how the man obtained the bikes, they may not have proper evidence. Speaking with an attorney might be a wise decision for someone who is in a similar situation.

When a person is facing a crime, it is important that they understand their rights. In this case, the man may have not even known he was committing a crime. Police say the man in this case was selling the bikes online and at a flea market. The man in this case was trying to make a living refurbishing bikes, but instead is being charged with numerous theft related crimes. An attorney can help a person understand their rights and how the legal system works. They can also make sure that all the evidence in a case was gathered legally.

Any illegally obtained evidence could result in a wrongful conviction. This wrongful conviction could, in turn, lead to consequences related to a persons' career, including a person's inability to re-establish their business reputation.

  1. Bike stealing is a big yet easy offense to carry out by people. Lots of bikes are being stolen from the places like houses, malls, and parking lots and are never recovered in most of the cases.
