My Oldest

My oldest son found a really nice bike next to his friends car outside in front of my crib.   We figured it was stolen then dumped there.  I found it in my driveway when I came home from work and took it inside. 

Did I just steal a stolen bike?

haha, yea, I think I found the owner.  plan is to talk to the guy tonight after work.   calm down.  lol

Ask him for ransome money to get his bike back unharmed! Add kidnap and extortion to your criminal repertoire :)

I like the way you think hamster!   The owner is pretty snobbish.  I knew him as a kid, he'll walk right past me nowadays and won't say a word.  

it's a really nice bike.  You can pedal backwards if you want. 

haha nice.  :)    Well, before we figured who the owner might be, I was in quite a concerning state.  I didn't know what to do with it.  I mean, it was stolen already, I found it on my property.  

Also, 2 of my bikes have gotten stolen already from my open garage.

I was kind of thinking, an eye for an eye...hmmmm...if it's not this guys bike,  i'm wondering what the next step should be

If its the snobbish guys bike, give it back and say who to make a cheque out to as a thank you. If its not his bike, keep it but respray it.

I suppose I could write a note and put it in his mailbox with a picture of the bike...

the note would say, "give me one million dollars or your bike will be destroyed"....then send follow up pictures of it being slowly taken apart until I get the money.

a million bucks is too much though, do like 20 bucks then if he doesnt take increase it by 20 every message and write one word messages to spell out a sentence.

Send him a screw to begin with, then a handelbar, then build up to a wheel.

The key is to spray paint the bike asap and add some extras, maybe a few stickers. It won't cost much and your son will have a new bike for a few bucks. Also adjust the seat height , these small details go a long way to making it look like a different bike.

Here re is the bike.  It's sweet

You have done this before, duck..a criminal mastermind in our midst

So one million is too high.  Ok, 20 bones and send him some screws to let him know I mean business.  check!

My boy already has some spray paint...I could make it a project with the little ones too!

Yup, wouldn't get rid of that Mex. Pity your boy found it, if you found it and did a quick spray job you could totally cover his birthday present killing two birds with one stone.

Yea I understand, and trust me, all those thoughts already raced through my head.  Alas, I think I found the owner, my conscience is killing me right now!!
