[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter's bike disappeared from her friend's front yard a couple of weeks ago. Several neighborhood kids told me this other girl has it. I ride by the house and see what appears to be my daughter's bike. I knock on the door and ask the mother if it happens to be her bike. Everything about the bike matches my daughter's, down to the ripped seat. She says it's her daughter's.

I guess it could be her child's bike. I asked a few kids if they've ever seen her riding the bike, and they say no. She rides a bigger, different colored bike.

It seems too coincidental for my daughter's bike to be missing and an identical one is in their garage.

Is this just a loss? How would you handle this?[/quote]

Believe it or not, this happened to my brother many  years ago.  The only difference is that we saw the kid take it and ride off with it.

My dad and brother and I went to the  kid's house.  My  father asked about the bike. The kid's mom said it was his.  My  dad said, well, that is interesting since there is a torn spot where the  label with his name was on the front (the kid had ripped the label with his name on it).  Then he said, I guess  we will just have to involve the police.  At that   point, the  kid's story changed and he fessed up.

If you are sure   it is hers, and it  sounds like you are, I would not let this go.  I would  go to the  house, state your case, then say  you plan to call the police.
