Even now, a few years later, no bike is locked at the school, and none have been stolen. So, would you like to know where this is so you can go there and teach the whole school a lesson?
... No, I think that's beautiful that they have an environment like that. There's a school near where I grew up where I wouldn't think twice about leaving my bike unlocked, even for a few hours. However, this school is not located in a large city where bike theft is common. So it's great that your son's school has such an environment, that's awesome, I hope my children's school will be like that, but that doesn't apply to the situation at hand, where the wheel
was likely to be stolen, and not by me, by someone who would want to sell it for cash.
