Igor Kenk of "The Bicycle Clinic" across from Trinity-Bellwoods Park was arrested on Friday and the contents of his "clinic" seized by the police. The cops loaded up ALL of Igor's bikes (hundreds of them) over the weekend and put them on display in their Liberty Village warehouse facility so that bike theft victims could reclaim their property.
Igor has been a malignant scourge in this city and to the biking community for nearly 20 years, and though he may not serve much time, I'm glad the fucker is in jail (he was denied bail). He would steal any kind of bike, in any condition, new or old, valuable or worthless, even kids bikes. He is a boil on the butt of humanity.
When the cops came with a van to clear out his "clinic", neighbors came out on Queen Street and out of the park and cheered them on: everyone knew what Igor was doing, they just couldn't prove it. Apparently, the M.T.P.S. had been trying to nail him for years. So, as a victim of multiple bike thefts and as a person who has dealt with Igor in the past, I send out a hearty "THANK YOU!" to Toronto's finest.
Good work!
