Easy come, easy go?

Can I tell you what a BUMMER is?  I haven't even blogged about Clarence's 15th Birthday yet--it was on February 27th--and her big present it already gone...vanished...It happened sometime today.  I guess the local creeps know when people are at Church and target those areas to vandalize or steal from.  We didn't pay at extreme amount of money, but not a tiny bit either.  I'm so angry I think I'm seeing cross-eyed.  We didn't have it locked-up, but it was on our bike rack.  The jerks came up in our driveway to take the 1 week old bike.  It's the best present we've ever given Clarence for her birthday.  Usually we don't have a good idea of what to do, but this was PERFECT, and now it's gone.  She's calm and not showing any anger, I'm proud of her...but I'm still fuming!  We said a prayer and drove around town to see if we could see said bike.  Police say that most of the time stolen bikes are taken by someone who wants to get somewhere fast, and they ditch the bike once they get there.  Maybe it'll come back?  That would be nice!  Honestly, it probably won't happen, though.  I hope whomever has lost Clarence's bike for her really needed it.  I think I might check the pawn shop tomorrow.
