Is the number of bicycles pertinent to the puzzle?

I have to put this on pause...dinners ready. Then Ill probably wrap myself in tinfoil and run through the neighborhood screaming obcenities at joggers and people walking their pets which is kind of a hobby of mine. At any rate Ill pick this up next go around.

OK people, lets collate what we know so far, initially:

A man lies dead in a room with fifty-three bicycles in front of him.

He is a thief, but he did not steal them. The ownership of the room is not important. Their are no spiritual or religious forces at work. The number of bicycles is relevant (but to what) though? THESE ARE NOT QUESTIONS JUST SUMMATIONS OF CURRENT KNOWLEDGE< HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:

Is the exact number of bicycles relevant to the man being dead, lying down in a room with them? Could some other number of bicycles other than 53 have produced the same result.

Are there other factors connected with the bikes that are relelvant?.

Is the number of bicyles their only importance?

Is there someone else in the room at the moment you describe?

Is the fact that the man is lying down of any importance?

Did the man die in the room itself?

Did he at any time touch the bicycles?

Is the fact that he is a thief have bearning on his death?

Does the fact that he did not steal the bycles have a bearing on his unfortunate passing at this time?

Are the bicyles the only other objects in the room, apart from the dead man himself?

Was he shot? you answered O.K. before we need yes or no.

Are you just having a laugh and is this a load of bollocks?
