~The Police Were Called!~

That was lucky. Now they know you have a dog, they may not come back. Most thieves are cowards too.

That is low of the guys trying to steal from you. I hope they don't ever come around again - or get caught.

I'm definitely glad that your dog and your neighbour were paying attention. Hopefully this will teach them not to come back. I'm also glad that you guys are alright.

I hope they find the bike, even if they don't catch the thieves. A few years ago I found three bikes stuck in the woods near my house. I brought them up to the house and called the Sheriff's office to ask if anyone had reported stolen bikes. They said so the next day I put the bikes out in my driveway to see if anyone would come and claim them. The next thing I know a detective from the Sheriff's department is in my driveway asking me where I got the bikes as they matched a description of some bikes stolen in the neighborhood the day before. I asked him if he'd come because of the call I'd made and he said no, no one at headquarters had said anything about it. Great communication, eh? The kids got their bikes back but the thieves were never caught.

I take it they didn't get the bikes. What did they look like? Anything distinctive that could help the police?

Please put those bikes in a safer place and get chains and a lock if you don't have another place to lock them up and teach you kids to make sure they are locked up when not in use. Alos get the serial numbers off each bike and keep it recorded in case someone else does make off with the bikes (take a picture of each bike and write the serial number on the picture. Hope your son's bike is found

I would be too. Do you have the serial number? One time some neighbors stole my bike(about a $800 mountain bike) and I saw it chained on their front porch a few days later. They had painted it red. I didn't have a leg to stand on cause I didn't have the serial number.

Thank goodness for this happening in the light of the day when they could be seen. I hope that it didn't frighten your children too much. Stay safe, and give that dog a treat!

What a shame. It should part of the routine now that the kids put their bikes in the garage. Times are different, unfortunately, anything left outside can be taken.

That's terrible! what a horrible thing to do

That's too bad, I hate thieves. They don't care about the consequences of their actions. Hope you can get your son a replacement before the warm weather.

Your son might be mad too for having his bike taken by the robber.Shame on that robber.May he be jailed.

That really sucks that they got away with stealing the bike. I hope they get caught and you can get your son's bike back. That's great for awesome neighbors though.

I hate mess like this. Thankfully it's not to bad in my town, but I take no chances, my hubby runs to the store down the street I lock doors. You sadly just can't trust people these days.

I'm sorry to hear they did get a way with your sons bike. We always lock everything up here as you never know who might come while were not home. I hope your able to find it but with any luck probably not.

Aw so sad..hope they catch them somehow. Sorry bout your sons bike too, but am glad to know no one was hurt..be careful my friend.

Awww, that's sad, why do people have to be so mean!

Do you have a storage shed or a garage to lock up the remaining bike @LovingMyBabies ?
