Good movie, but that’s not what this post is about!
Last week I told you all that my bike got stolen. You can read about it HERE. The bottom line is that it got TAKEN, and I had to use my “CIA-like” skills to get it back… a lot like in the movie TAKEN, but it was my bike instead of a daughter.
After speaking to some of the neighbors last week, I became suspicious of some of the neighborhood kids. See! CIA-like skills!
Leah and I woke up on Saturday morning, and decided to go for a walk. What a perfect opportunity to search through the neighborhood yards!
Before the walk, I sent in a Twitter message saying:
Going for a recreational walk through the neighborhood…maybe I’ll search the neighbors yards for my stolen bike!
So…Leah and I went for a walk. We had two different directions that we could go in. Leah wanted to go one way, and I wanted to go the other. We went her way… See! CIA-like skills!
Two streets and half a mile later…there it was…in another snow bank! I run in that neighborhood during the summer and I know the house. They have a ton of kids that are always causing trouble. Leah knocked on the door, while I took pictures of the crime scene. I had left my finger printing brush and powder at home. No one was home, so I just took my bike back!
This is what I Twittered while walking home:
No way! I just found my bike two streets from my house in the yard of some punk kids! Took it back! Can’t wait to go back and knock on the door. No one was home.
Then later that night after church, I twittered:
Learned about forgiveness tonight in Church! Hey punk kids that took my bike, I forgive you…I won’t throw your bikes in the Hudson River.
So, it was an amazing day, and I am going to now offer my PI services for anyone that wants to pay a lot of money.
Here are some of the pics:
