Speaking of holier-than-thou, why would you assume that the girl that lost her bike was at fault? While it's certainly possible (probable, even) that the child didn't secure her bike properly, how would you have even known if it wasn't, in fact, the parent that left their shed open/unlocked (or whatever other scenario would have left the bike out in the open). Additionally, how would you have know that the bike wasn't properly secured, and the thief didn't break into a shed/garage/whatever, as they are known to do?


In my opinion, the initial post was an awful lot of "counting your chickens before they hatch", which had people doubting the sincerity of your effort to return the bike to it's rightful owner. Right or wrong, surely you could understand why a group of people that are passionate about bikes were getting upset when hearing about a bike being taken away from it's rightful owner, especially a child?



I don't know why I'm putting any thought into this. Bored, I guess.
