Stolen bike

Riley called tonight from Tanners (his best friend) hysterical....I could not even understand him he was so upset. When I finally got the story....his bike had been stolen from Tanner's garage! OMG...the bike he worked for months to buy after having another bike stolen. I could not take it he has been so responsible he will not even leave it outside while he goes in to open the garage to put it away. The next morning when Riley was saying prayers he said "let the person who has my bike ride it a little longer and then give it back"....only him....We decided to make flyer....and it paid off! Long story short...it was found at the junior high and he got it back. He was so excited....and the kid came over to give Riley a letter he had written to apologize and my sweet 10-year-old boy felt so bad for him he started to cry when he read the letter :-(. The kid was really sorry and hopefully will never it do it again but it was a great lesson on both sides and hopefully all my children realize how serious it is to steal and how many people are effected by each choice you make in life...
