One of them borrowed the bike from nephew and after much wrangling and "Where are your parents?" queries returned it with a broken wheel hub and the brakes misaligned. Never could find the parents/guardians of the 2 brothers which said much right there.
Let nephew chalk it up to a "how much you should trust anyone" lesson and left it at that. And thennn my phone went missing - uh huh.

Didn't want the kid(s) to face criminal charges...just wanted someone to set him/them on the right path for life. Yeah well whatever; don't try and your life can be filled with doubts about not doing your personal best.
