Hmmm...bit mixed emotions here...glad you got your bike back for sure. But, if the kid was the one that stole it, he was rewarded for that behavior...and that is not good...I think I would have placed a call to the police. Yes, all in all, it would have taken longer probably to get the bike back, but, the police maybe would have been able to trace down the thief...and protect people from future bikes being stolen. Yeah, I know, maybe I am an optimist...but...I do think that would have been the better route
