Yesterday thieves stole about 65-70k worth of merchandise from the Big Bear Cycling Association out of two storage containers. Most of it was Tour de Big Bear merch including jerseys, shirts, hats, etc. Also included in the heist was banners for local sponsors. Unfortunately, as with most cycling clubs, the budget is extremely tight and did not include insurance. This is a pretty heavy loss for that club.
I'm posting here in case anyone comes across Tour de Big Bear or Big Bear Cycling Association gear being sold outside of the official channels. If so, the seller very likely is or knows who the thief. Our only real hope here is that this is highly identifiable stuff and just maybe the cycling community will recognize and report it.
