Article about an Austin Bike Thief

[Nicholas]

I found this story to be a very interesting read about James Clayton. He steals high dollar road bikes. The story covers how he befriended bike riders to get information from them to later steal their bikes. He seems to have all the classic characteristics of your typical sociopath / psychopath.

"He's a smooth operator, cocky and confident," said Zachery Christopher, who became close friends with Clayton and then leased to him a garage apartment behind his Woodrow Avenue home. Later, amidst the contraband in Clayton's apartment, police found two of Christopher's bikes.

"He's a supervillain now," Abels said. "It's like something out of a comic book."

I hope he doesn't get away with his crimes.
