Once upon a time, an international theft ring stole motorcycles from their owners in NYC.

Then, the NYPD caught them, and "stole" the bikes from the thieves.

Then, someone stole them from the NYPD.

For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

"All the bikes seized by the NYPD were supposed to end up in their Auto Crime Division facility in Queens, sources said.

It was not clear why this group of motorcycles wound up stashed in the box truck."

I'd say it's pretty clear.
