Great story, I only hope they catch and punish the ones responsible.  If someone stole my 30, I would be devastated.

I hate thieves!  >:(  They don't just steal a thing, they take the part of your life you sold to earn the money to buy the thing, the time you invested in building the thing, and the joy you would have experienced by having the thing.  :(
The probability of life originating from accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary resulting from an explosion in a printing shop.  Edwin Conklin

Exactly, for me it would be robbing me of my retirement.

You can bet who ever the thieves are they have not worked for or earned anything they have. If they have they would not be thieves.

Sort of a bitter-sweet story. I'm glad the son got the bike back.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

I wonder if the sellers got duped thinking they had the right to sell it. That bike could have changed hands a few time since it was stolen.
