“Of the 420 dirt bikes police have seized since the launch of the task force, 88 were stolen, said Baltimore Detective David Jones. Many of the stolen bikes have been ripped off from dealerships and private owners in the suburbs around Baltimore County and from as far away as Pennsylvania and Virginia.”
So that’s about 20 percent that were stolen. Link below:

Yeah I read this in 2017 when it came out. 20% isn’t a “large majority”

If 1 in 5 cars in Baltimore were stolen, would you say the same thing?

I would say 20% is not the majority or a large percentage. I would also say it also doesn’t substantiate the claims made here .

It’s way more than that. They can’t officially count the ones with the serial numbers ground off as stolen

that's only the percentage of bikes seized. I think the percentage would skew higher if they recovered more bikes.

I’m asking for facts and hard numbers. Not what you “think”

You're not asking for facts and hard numbers and you're not asking for what u/Moongdss74 thinks so what are you asking for? Are you asking for people to define entitlements again?

Yes he’d absolutely say the same thing, because one in five is not in any way a majority

It’s less than 50% so it can’t be a majority at all, let alone a large majority. It’s not even halfway there
