Two of the bikes had unique prototype technology.

They'd be recognized immediately if anyone was seen using them in competition or in any bike club.

More likely the thieves will try to sell them to a competitor high end bike manufacturer who would probably turn them.

I know a guy who had a computer repair shop and copied a client's client data file and tried to sell the info to a competitor of the client. That competitor notified the client and the guy was busted.

Probably this.

I think I heard on the news that one bike has already been recovered, most likely the Specialized, which wasn't a drive-shaft prototype.
