Guest guest Posted July 22, 2005 Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Amazing is right. I can't say that I'd be brave enough to do what you did. I'm just glad you got the bike back and didn't have any physical confrontations with the boys. a On Jul 21, 2005, at 10:32 PM, ltlmisscrankypants wrote: > What a night! > > Came back from the local grocery store this evening to find a car > parked in the middle of the street in front of my home. There was a > lady speaking to my son and my niece on the sidewalk. My first > reaction was " what did he do now???
