Hi Dave,
Yes,this seems to be a big problem everywhere today. This week my neighborhood has had a problem with bikes being stolen, my son's included, the police came out took the reports and told us to keep back in a week to see if they have found them.Most of the bikes were locked up so they have cut the locks off and the area is well lite at night. This just makes you so mad, that you can't have things without somebody stealing them. My son used his bike for everything due to my panic and I can't drive him around. Now I am not sure what he is going to do, I can't go buy another bike at this time.
I wish that parents keep up with their kids better in todays world. I think that has alot to do with the problem.
Take Care
