Bicycle theft publicity stunt

Whether this is a story of an amazing crime or an incredible publicity stunt, it's still pretty good.

hovering above the Las Vegas skyline, a helicopter lowered several ropes onto the roof of Caesars Palace. The thieves on the roof worked quickly and in tandem. Within minutes, the helicopter flew off with the stolen Emporio Armani Sportbike hanging between its skids.

Freewheelingspirit thinks it's a hoax for publicity and is trying to get a free bike out of it. I have to figure out how to turn this blog into a free trip to Interbike. Certainly if Trek can give G.W.Bush free bikes, they can send me out there to talk about bike blogging. We bike in the same hood (The Secret Service facility is just up the road), live on the same street and my approval rating is higher than his.

Anyway, thanks for the mention.
