That's Some Police Work

The weekend started when I looked out my hotel room window and saw my two bikes had been stolen from the back of my van.

A couple weekends ago, my family and I were vacationing in Santa Barbra staying at the Santa Barbara Hilton. It was my daughter's birthday, and we drove down from the San Francisco Bay Area to have a nice weekend vacation. Well, it started when I woke up Saturday morning, May 1, and looked out my hotel room window. Two of my bikes had been stolen from the back of my van.

The first thing I did was contact hotel security. They took a report and told me to file a report via the Santa Barbara Police Department online system when I returned home.

Well, my wife, Laurie, and I were very disappointed and decided that we didn't want this incident to disrupt the remainder of our weekend. We decided to get some lunch and walked down to State Street.
