>>Oh, no!
Mom!
>>What's wrong?
>>Somebody stole my bicycle!
>>Stolen?!
Right out of the back yard?!
>>And it was locked.
>>Look at the lock.
They just cut right through it.
>>Those rotten thieves!
>>Ah, I'm so sorry, sweetheart.
I know how much you loved that bike.
>>Do you think we'll ever get it back?
>>I don't know, but I think we'd better report the robbery to the police.
Let's go in the house and call right away.
>>Okay.
>>Sweetheart, could you get the telephone?
>>Shall I dial 911 (nine one one)?
>>No, 911 is only for emergencies.
>>But this is an emergency!
>>Well, the police might not think so.
Let's look for another number.
>>Okay.
>>This is what we need.

Thanks.
I appreciate that.

Would you like a little snack?
Some juice and cookies?

[Mer a thought] Mom, should I get the serial number?
>>From the bike?
>>Yes.
>>Do you have it?
>>Yes.
I wrote it in my diary.
>>Well, that's a good idea.
>>I'll be right back.
>>So you found the lock out here this morning?
>>Yes, they just cut right through it.
>>I didn't think they'd take a locked bicycle.
>>I don't think this lock would stop anyone.
>>I thought it was a strong lock.
>>I'm sorry, Lisa.
These thieves knew what they were doing.Now, what kind of bike was it?
>>It was a mountain bike.
I got it for my birthday.
>>Do you have the serial number?
>>Yes, we do.
Lisa ... >>879-3961-28KS.
>>879-3961-28KS?
>>Yes, that's right.
>>Was it a new bike?
>>No, it was a used one.
>>It was about three years old.
We got it from a friend.
>>And what color was it?
>>It was pink, with silver fenders.
>>It was a Nishiki something.
>>Nishiki Appache.
>>Okay, I have that.
Now, Ms. Starski, do you have house insurance?
>>Yes, of course.
>>Your insurance company should replace stolen or damaged property.
I'll give you a copy of my report to give to them.
>>Oh, thank you, officer.
And I'll check with the insurance company.
>>Do you think we'll ever get my bike back?
>>If we're lucky, we may find your bike in a few days, or a month.
But we may never find it, Lisa.
>>You mean I'll never see my bike again?
>>I'm sorry, that may happen.
LISA: Mom, what will we do?
TASHA: Well, maybe we can borrow one from the neighbors for now.
And when will the copy of the report be ready for the insurance company?
OFFICER: Tomorrow afternoon?
We'll do our best to find your bike, Lisa.
LISA: [Discouraged] Thanks.
TASHA: And even if we don't find it, the insurance company will help us get another bike.
LISA: A red Nishiki with silver fenders?
TASHA: If we are lucky.
