Story
HELP NEEDED! Today I was sat in my car on sainsburys car park Wigan. I spotted (without being judgemental) I suspicious looking male in grey joggers and dark hoody with hood pulled up and tight to cover his face. He looked a little scruffy and just caught my attention....... He casually walked into the front porch of sainsburys and took a bike and drove off! I went into security to inform them ....... And tried to see who the bike belonged to. It turned out to be a bike of a young boy who had gone into the cafe for food with his friends ! His bike was a Xmas present! I contacted his mum and comforted the boy who was very upset...... I drove around local estates for an hour just looking but no success! I've asked his mum what bike it was and she confirmed the make - it's similar to the one in this photo. I'm trying to raise money (unbeknown to the boy or his family) to get him another. I will contribute myself and if anyone can kindly donate £1,£5 or whatever you can spare so I can raise the funds I'd be grateful.
