My brother collects abandoned wheels, frames and stuff, too, in hopes of building bikes from all the parts.

I like to be positive and hope that this is an artist who is inspired by bike parts. Not that criminals use their brian, but they would be a moron to leave all that out for everyone to see.

The fact that there is nothing there but bike parts is the real dead giveaway, moron. Oh, excuse me, moron TROLL.

The person was collecting bike wheels and spokes for scrap metal (likely from a bike store dumpster, or by cutting the wheels left behind by real bike thieves). The fact that just wheels, spokes, and locks were there is the give away (not to mention leaving all that crap in an open truck bed for anyone to view)

Valencia Cyclery leaves parts like this in their dumpster in front of the store.. maybe the truck owner got the wheels from there or another shop to sell for scrap?

he didn’t have any frames, so maybe he’s just cleaning what’s left of stolen bikes off of poles. and perhaps that why he has tons of rims/wheels and broken locks.

Suspicious at the very least. But I tend to doubt that the cops cared.
