Crimewatch...

I came home this evening to find my bike had been stolen from outside my home. I wasn't too worried, as it had two flat tires, no brakes and wobbly wheels. I figured that if anyone was stupid enough to steal it they'd give up by the time they reached the river and would have thrown it in there. I was partially right - they reached about 200 yards down the road before giving up and dumping it - not even bothering to hide it.

Should I be embarrassed, or the tea-leaf?

(My parents won't stop ribbing me about it either - I'm famous in our family for wrecking bikes, not least when I ploughed into a parked car at thirty mph)

Ah, a cunning plan of stashing dodgy old bike outside so clueless (or blind)thief would nick that one and not spot the decent one hidden on the other side of the hedge.

No - cunning plan of only having one bike that hasn't been completely destroyed...
