1. Cash - can't be traced, super easy to spend. 2. Jewelry - easily fenced, especially in a city with the world's largest diamond exchange. 3. Ramat-Gan - in a large metropolitan area, next to Tel Aviv. 4. Bicycle frames - very difficult to fence or sell, have serial numbers.

BTW, how is the riding around there, any favorite places to ride, any concerns about safety? Are there other good places to ride in Israel, any other collectors?
