Why Lance Armstrong Never Ceases To Bug the Bejeezus out of Me, Part I

So: Lance had his time trial bike stolen yesterday. Apparently it's worth more money than I make in a year. About twenty grand, they say.

So Armstrong gets on Twitter and tells his 118,400 followers that he's offering a reward for its safe return.

And all I can think of is...

a) Did you pay for that marvel of engineering out of your own pocket? Or was it given to you by Trek, who know they're going to make the investment back off of weekend warriors who walk into bike shops and babble, "I want a bike just like the bike Lance rides!!!!!"
b) How much money do you make in a typical year?
c) Then SHUT UP.
