'Called on more,' private investigators look into Austin burglaries

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Will Black, the general manager of Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop off of Lamar Boulevard, said he has "the greatest job in the world."

Pictured in the photo here, Black said he has worked at bike shops for 43 years.

But lately, a recent crime spurt has taken some of his focus away from what he loves doing at the shop.

"They'll break a window, come in, grab an arm full of stuff. Not only is that a big distraction for the shop, there's a cost involved," Black said.
