kids bike found on abram park

Found a kids bike on abram park
sent me a message to identify it

Tricky one.

You try to do the best thing, then end up lumbered.

Had two issues when retaining bikes following accidents.

1) Bloke goes off in ambulance, I take his bike home. Next day, try to contact him via A&E. He'd gone home prior to treatment. He's got my name & address in his pocket. I wonder what if bike gets nicked. Or even if bloke had stolen it in first place.


I take the bike to police station and they take it as lost property (many years ago). Never heard anything more.


2) Took bike in for a kid who'd had accident. Bugger of a job getting family to come for it.



So, not being a lost property office, I'd think twice in future. Admittedly a sad state of affairs.

There are also times (an this goes against my grain) when I've wondered if some kids, or their parents, deserve to get stuff back.


I'm certainly not condoning theft, but the way some bikes etc. are left in front gardens an the like overnight beggars belief.


But I suppose that's best left to the 'kids have it too good today' and 'what chid poverty?' peeves.
