One of them had a terrible dream that someone stole her bike and laughed as they rode away.
The guy who lives next to us went on vacation Last yearand someone stole the window A/C component out of his study room window. They jumped over the backyard fence and ruined a whole garden of rose bushes in the process. They broke a couple of windows in the back of the lake house and stole a window A/C unit. It did not look like they went into the house. After I found out about the stolen A/C unit, I started to guess about my bikes on the back porch. I always keep the bikes on the back porch and most of them do not have a lock. I have always trusted the people in this city, however maybe that is a terribly naive decision to make. My partner agrees that every one of us need to be more careful. Both of us purchased some heavy duty padlocks and chains for the adult bikes and some cheaper however equally effective locks for the children;s bikes. To be honest, no 1 would steal the kid’s bikes when my partner and I have $1500 mountain bikes, however every one of us wanted the kids to feel safe. One of them had a terrible dream that someone stole her bike and laughed as they rode away. That nearly broke my heart. My partner and I went to the hardware store the next day. I hope the burglary and theft was a 1 time problem, however I have everything in the backyard protected just in case. I’m also thinking about adding a security camera to the back porch that overlooks the garage and the side door.
