>I am surprised that you wrote 'To all my black neighbors.' Is that because the youth who stole your bikes were black and you don't know precisely who it was? You don't have any white youth in your neighborhood who steal? Or is that irrevelant? Was the including the skin color intentional?

I saw them, not long enough to memorize their faces, through the cracks in the fence. And my neigborhood is mostly black, specially the kids who play in the back alley.

We chose to live here, not giving a piece of stool in regards to any demographics - if we bought a house here, it means we want to stay and live with them. Tried every bit of good will I knew how to summon, in the same way we did with our neighbors back home.
