Why would anyone want to steal a bike tire? They were pretty determined to take the whole thing, but when that failed why bother with taking just the front wheel and the light? Spite?
I think they started with the front wheel and got greedy. Though, the blinky light was so f'd up it wouldn't sell. That, I think they took out of spite.
As for the tire, they sell. $10-ish for the tire, $2 for an inner tube, $20+ for the wheel.
I went to a local swap meet to look for a replacement wheel the first time it was stolen. There were a couple vendors there that had a lot of quick release front wheels. HMMM.
Joke's on the buyer. My front wheel had a trashed bearing race. Something about putting 10 balls on one side and 8 balls on the other, then riding on it and wondering why the wheel was so wobbly.
