Father Anguishes Over His Son’s Bike Being Stolen
Father Anguishes Over His Son’s Bike Being Stolen
Editor,
I find myself writing this letter this morning with very harsh and mixed emotions regarding my son’s bike being stolen on Aug. 7.
I, as a responsible and caring parent, take my son and his bike, and drop him off at his 6am high school football practice. This was our plan we came up with while he was going to be involved with these early morning practices; I would take him and he would ride his bike home. However, all that changed in a matter of moments when an early morning thief, or thieves, happened to be roaming along our quiet streets, and just happened to spot my son’s bike chained and locked up against a chain-link fence.
The early morning practice was coming to an end and the coaching staff decided to have the football squad run some laps at the main football field track. My son’s bike would no longer be visible to him or any other person involved in this practice. This was the perfect opportunity for the early morning loser or losers to steal my son’s bike.
I hope the shameless person or persons who did this read this letter I am writing to our local newspaper addressed to Letters to the Editor. This person or persons who apparently have no conscience when it comes to stealing a young boy’s bike during broad daylight, and probably have no remorse with their actions, have probably sold my son’s bike already for a fraction of what I paid for it.
When it comes to what this person had done or persons have done, it really disgusts me, and makes me think of what more cowardly acts you or you guys are capable of. You stole my son’s source of transportation in broad daylight, and in front of San Benito Street not caring if someone was even looking. Being a disabled father, I can’t just go out and buy another bike; this notion totally angers me. They have also hurt my son with their thoughtless actions.
You being shameless with your blatant actions to carry bolt cutters tells me everything I need to know about you. You are a total loser or losers that I cannot put a face to. If I could, you better believe it, you would find yourself or selves where you belong, in jail. I hope that this letter gets printed and you just happen to come across it, and it finds whoever was involved behind bars already. You’re a low-life or low-lives who don’t belong on our streets.
P.S. and I also hope the person or persons behind this can read.
