People in the Edmonton, AB Canada area---
My son just had his bike stolen from our property! Please keep your eyes peeled!
Here are some pictures of his bike:

So yesterday someone stole my sons bike which was pretty upsetting for my son. I had posted about it on the Facebook Edmonton Buy & Sell page to ask that if anyone saw someone trying to sell the bike-- to please let us know. Well.. a complete stranger - A mother who had gone through this before with her own son - contacted me and told me that she had a bike that Sean could have for free.
Ive done similar things myself by helping out and giving to people in need when I can, and generally have a good opinion of humanity. ..But its tough to not be sore after someone steals from your child.. So I am extremely grateful for this kindness.. the sweet small kindnesses of strangers are pivotal and really combine to help shape my world view - and my sons too. Sean is thrilled to have a bike again and happy that a complete stranger would do this for him (& just in time for summer vacation! YAY!).

So then this happened today. We found Seans stolen bike but there was nothing we could do about it. I mean what were we going to do? Push the kid off the bike and take it back? Call the police? LOL
A kid named Austin a few streets down from us has it. Steve asked him.. when did you get this bike? This month.
We also learned more about this kid which explains a lot about the kind of parents he has-- that would steal a bike from a child. It still irks me even though Sean was given a used bike for free afterwards by a kind stranger. Its the fact we bought him the bike for his good grades. The hours we spent with Sean picking out the perfect one. The pride and joy it gave to our son..... but yeah.. ugh. At least this kids dick of a father could have stolen the helmet too rather than throwing it to the ground and then letting his kid ride around without one. :P
