At least it's tax deductible.....

Cody Young,of Salem,OR,went along with some friends over the weekend to browse at their local Goodwill and loathe to leave his bike outside without a lock,Cody parked it inside the store near the bicycle display in the store.When he returned to retrieve it,he learned that his $200 BMX bike had been sold to a Goodwill customer for $6.99!Goodwill officials say they do not permit bikes inside the store other than those donated just for that reason!They related the story of a mop and bucket a janitor had left out at one time,which was promptly sold the next day-their motto is if its on the floor,it's for sale!
While they cannot identify the purchaser,spokesman Bob Barsocchini said they will "make it right" and even throw in a free bike lock so that Cody can park securely outside in the future.Oh well-this 7th grader learned a valuable lesson and at least he (or his folks) can use it as a tax deduction!LOL
