The most interesting part of the story to me is that he refused to tell the cops where the bikes went. Is it a bigger, organized ring? Seems like he couldn't just craigslist or pawn them locally very easily.
He should also get 1 year per dollar of the total value IMO.

No kidding. That feels like he was a small component of a larger operation and didn't want to sell out his buddies.
