I get a kick out of the news stories calling them ‘missing cyclists’. Like they headed out for a 40 mile ride on their Treks.
No kidding. More like the GMOB went to go hit a lick and chose....poorly.I get a kick out of the news stories calling them ‘missing cyclists’. Like they headed out for a 40 mile ride on their Treks.
Dude, they were headed out to commit a crime on bicycles. I'm thinking planning ahead (or at all) wasn't their strong suit.What in the hell can you "hit a lick big enough for all of them." on bicycles?
You can’t carry much on a bicycle. You could however carry a backpack full of cash though.
Funny you say that. I think the originals were Higgins. And that is exactly what they were. Duce n half truck equivalent of that time that had a tub put on them to float.
There should be a propeller that I think is recessed into the center of the body.
When one references a "Higgins boat," they generally mean a Higgins PT boat, but Higgins made a bunch of different types of boats during WWII. IIRC, at one point during the war, over half of the Navy's surface fleet were boats made by Higgins, mostly landing craft.
There was no hull on the one we saw at all and no prop. Maybe the one we saw was land only?Funny you say that. I think the originals were Higgins. And that is exactly what they were. Duce n half truck equivalent of that time that had a tub put on them to float.

Why dismember them?Seems like when something like this happens people start thinking 'the cartels' had a hand in it. Back in Ohio a couple of years ago they had a whole family wiped out one night at different locations and everybody was talking drugs and cartels - turns out it was a custody dispute over a child and one family whacked the other family so they could get custody of the kid. This happened not too far from where my younger brother lives.
I'm thinking they set out to rob the salvage yard owner because of rumors of mass amounts of cash and/or gold & silver on hand (or drugs). The victim got the drop on them and shot them first, but either the shootings were not kosher enough to be up front about it or he had something to hide and didn't want LE nosing around. I'm not sure why they were on bicycles - suspended drivers licenses, to be quiet, they didn't own cars, etc.? Sounds like there will be a movie about it some day...
