I just gotta put this down here before I forget.
"How does a guy move around a middle class neighbourhood at night without somebody hearing or seeing him?"
"On a bike."
^ lines from some show I was watching and I got a 'ding-ding-ding' - Okay, so rapid fire thoughts for later investigation:
- In Visalia, he was a kid. He had a bike. Limited car access? Probably just a bike, hence all the hits in one street on one night. He stashes the bike in some bushes and bam-bam-bam, house after house, with the bike near enough to run to if he's spotted. May have lived in Visalia but he could have ridden there from another place nearby. I'm thinking he wasn't wholly local, as he'd get recognised riding around those streets. But there again, maybe he 'fit in' too much to be a suspect. Somebody would known about his peeping, though, is my bet. Maybe has a juvie record for it. Maybe people didn't make too much of it. But I know in my gut he was a serial peeper long before he ever set foot in anyone's house for criminal purposes.
- As EAR, he had a car. Probably moved out of home by then. But he's learned the bike is the quickest, quietest way around the streets. People eyeball a strange car - but they likely won't look twice a cyclist.
- As ONS, he's refined his techniques fully. This was him degenerating as a criminal. Thrill-dead, he escalated his crimes as his psyche devolved.
So what kind of vehicle fits a bike in it? Van, station wagon, hatchback are my first thoughts. Maybe a sedan trunk, if it's a smaller framed bike.
