Many years ago, my son had a freestyle BMX that he had built part by part, until he finally bought the Haro frame of his dreams and transferred all the parts to it. A few months later, while he was delivering papers to a second floor apartment, it was stolen. We reported it to the police, but assumed it was gone. Fortunately for him, we were able to place a claim on our household insurance and he got a new bike. A year later, the police called and asked him to come ID his bike. It had been located 2 towns over, in a "bike chop shop" that had been found during a drug bust. We then had to go to the insurance company to pay back their settlement, but he did get his original bike back. However, he couldn't look at it without crying again. He finally gave it to a friend.
