I did file a detailed police report, I am hoping maybe the paper might do a little story as well since she works for them, but they are going to get back to her on that.

The thing that really bugs me, is that she is probably giving up the round at the end of the year to concentrate on her studies for high school, we did not need to buy a new bike, and now looks like we will have to , and she will have no further use for it really, as she won't be biking to high school.

At least we have a good bike to borrow and buy and pay off if we decide to., that I am thankful for.

It is the school holidays here, so it could have been an adult who stole it for their child, or teenagers hoping to sell it on, we think it was taken at night time, so I doubt it was a younger child.

Unfortunately sometimes these people never get there's ,they just keep on taking what is NOT their's, and what other's have worked their butts off to provide.

Melissa has been really good about it, it was me who was on the downer about it all, she accepts its gone and not likely to turn up, and that she will have to help pay off the new bike, she even said well maybe it was someone who really needed it to sell , just to live, I doubt that seriously, but it was good that she thought of that possibility.
