By almost identical I mean same brand and size but there were no tires and the plastic wheels were very worn as in ridden quite a lot without tires. Pegs were missing, pedals broken.<br /><br />We called the police and reported it but we didn't have the serial number. <br /><br />When we bought a new one we made sure we noted down the serial number and have taken pictures of it. The Little Guy is also extremely careful to lock up his bike, at home and at friends' houses.kimschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15742219426291395677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-5783020983386618992012-07-02T22:36:08.726-05:002012-07-02T22:36:08.726-05:00Neato.
