You feel so violated and even to this day when we see a yellow BMX we wonder "Is that the one?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708181143123805296.post-46436402671124021912008-02-24T08:58:00.000-06:002008-02-24T08:58:00.000-06:00That is sad.

Plus most thefts are a crime of opportunity not well thought out. It seems more personal to me than that especially given that they were bold enough to go up to your front door. I hope Bub wasn't too heart broken. My husband had his bike stolen as a kid and has never gotten over it. I think the main reason was that he saw another kid with his bike and my father in law didn't believe it was my husband's bike so he let the kid keep it. I would definitely carve his name or initials in the next one. It won't help it from being stolen but may help him get it back if it is. Most police departments have events where they will mark them for you.Someone Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984828094257765105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4708181143123805296.post-86601862036290443842008-02-24T07:06:00.000-06:002008-02-24T07:06:00.000-06:00That's so sad because you're right - he was being ...That's so sad because you're right - he was being so diligent and responsible, doing exactly what you had asked him to do. Definitely not one of those things that's begging for a consequence, but rather a sad life lesson.Randi~Dukes and Duchesseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277985792260962440noreply@blogger.com
