I still remember the three bikes my little brother had that were stolen all before he turned 10 years old.  He had done everything 'right'.  One was brand new.  The first day he took one to school, locked it, and then came out at lunch and it was gone.  He was done.  He never got a 4th bike until he was in his 30's. It just hurt too much.

Speaking with others who have had items stolen I learned that many times those personal scars can last a long time.

I'm happily married with fantastic children. Together we enjoy friends, family, and outdoor activites. Hiking , running, skating, hockey, and skiing are some of the favorites.
