Stop Thief!
My bicycle has been stolen. I parked it just outside my flat last night, but this morning it was gone. I had to walk to school and so I was late by about five to ten minutes. I explained the situation to my teacher and told my classmates about it later. Many of them were convinced that someone who lives in my building had taken my bike by accident; mistaking it for their own. I don’t share their optimism and at this point my bike has not been returned. I searched both bicycle parking areas at school, but couldn't find it. I’ve had my bike stolen in Japan before (when I left it in the train station where I used to live). However, I can’t believe someone would have the audacity to steal it from just outside my front door. It even has a registration seal on it. At times like this I have to remind myself I’ll be going back to the land of chavs and happy slappers at the end of June.
