It could have been a rough day at work, but that would have fixed it.
Made my day as well!
Actually, when I was about 9 I had my Stingray 2sp stolen from the school bike rack. I had to walk home.
A few days later, a Fullerton Police car drove up to our home and the officer pulled my Campus Green Schwinn out of the trunk, undamaged.
It was a very good bike, one that I rode for 7-8 years before selling it to a neighbor.
The bike coming home was a complete surprise!

WOW!!!!!!!!! this one made my day. Its so rare we read about someone getting a stolen bike back and the circumstances make it all the more better for you, and us for that matter. The wife is definitely a keeper as is the Pug.
