>A year or so ago, one of my daughter's friends spent the weekend with us and after she left, about 5 of my daughter's shirts and numerous jewelry items were missing, including some of mine. I went to the parent's house and suggested thatwhen she packed up, she accidentally grabbed some of Haley's and my stuff. Her mother found the items and returned them and laughed it off. Her daughter is known for stealing so it was not a surprise. I think her mother has given up.

These bikes will suddenly appear in someone's yard. Someone close may ask these kids a few questions, or not. It may be as easy to return these bikes as it was to take them - now that we have even less reason to keep an eye on the back yard.

Well, we'll see whether the bikes will be seen on the streets. As all our bikes always have, these had some distinctive marks.

Never mind, I don't want to stay in bad mood for too long. We've just undergone an attitude change.
