Dear jerk who stole my bike-

You were pretty brazen to steel a bike in broad daylight on busy street in front of a business! Yeah, my insurance will cover a new bike, but whoever you are, it's pretty low. Yeah, I know it was my fault to leave a road bike there for 10 minutes, and I should have brought it into the See's Candy store with me even though it had big windows and I checked on it once. Once I get over being mad at myself for being complacent and at you for stealing my bike, I might get excited about buying a new bike- but I'm not there yet.

Ms. Speedwell, I'm going to miss you.
