UGH!!! People who steal bikes are just nasty, evil people. I got my bike stolen in fifth grade and it was horrible. It was a beautiful Huffy 10 speed. It was so traumatic and that time it was my fault, I couldn't open the garage so I left it in front of the house three weeks before Christmas. My parents tried to tell me so poor kid probably got it for Christmas from parents who were desperate. Even though my Nanny and Pawpaw bought me a new one a week later, I was hurt. They no longer made the bike I had and no bike we could find compared. (((hugs))) I never loved another bike until I got my current road bike. At least you will not have to wait 12 years!!
