I was talking to a friend of mine about this topic.  He was at Berkeley last 
year when the theives came up with the idea/trend.  Happens to be a certain 
Mazda car jack, and yes indeed, they were breaking into them to just steal the 
jack.  

He also said that everyone on campus knew who the theives were.  It seems 
there was always someone who would buy the stolen bikes off them.  Bad Karma.  
May the theives and the people who buy them knowing that they are hot all burn 
in hell...
