IWOULD like to wish a very happy Christmas to the person who climbed over our back yard wall and stole my son's bike.

He saved up all of his spending money for a number of weeks to purchase it and had since spent his time and his money restoring it, with new tyres etc.

Two months ago he was attacked and robbed of his school bag. He has not recovered fully from that yet, but his beloved bike went some way to restoring his confidence.

He is a good boy who has done nothing to deserve either of these recent crimes committed against him.

Name and address supplied.
