Stupid Kids.
they stole our bikes.
The bikes are worth at least 5,000 so they can be charged with a felony.
I am sure they didn't know the value of what they stole. They just thought it would be fun to ride some really nice bikes.
Yes, I know they stole them, but I hate to see a felony go on their records. I guess they should have stolen something cheaper.
OK I am a sap. I hope it can be reduced to a misdemeanor.
It would never occur to me to steal someone's bike no matter how accessible it was. In fact, I saw an unlocked bike outside a dollar store a few days ago. I was very concerned about it not being locked up, but i didn't take it! So I am having a rough time figuring out how I even feel about the situation now. Is a felony an overkill

Of course, I may feel different once the bikes are released. We have to bring receipts and proof of ownership but went out of town before would could do that. If the bikes are damaged well . . . .
The police say the bikes look great and that everyone in the precinct is drooling over them, so I assume nothing has happened to them.
