SALEM, Ore. - Cody Young parked his bike in the wrong place at the Goodwill store, where the rule is that anything on the floor goes. He didn't have a lock, but friends said they had parked inside the store before. On Sunday, though, the black BMX bike was sold.
But the 13-year-old is going to get his bike back, Goodwill officials said, after the buyer saw a newspaper story about the mix-up and called to make things right.
The buyer got the bike for just $6.99 but will get a $100 gift certificate from Goodwill for coming forth.
It's not the first such mix-up in Goodwill's busy stores, Goodwill spokesman Dale Emanuel said. A janitor once left a bucket and mop on a store's sales floor, and they were sold the next day.
I bougt a used, built up fixie at a thrift store in October and they charged me $90. I feel a little ripped off, but at least I didn't have someone chasing me out the door demanding their bike back.
Don't forget your lock when you visit Goodwill!

All you spelling hounds can go suck a dick. Who cares if the spelling is correct? Are you grading papers? Are you a teacher? Picking apart someone's spelling does not disprove their argument or logic, you morons. All you assholes act like you've never made a mistake before, really, go fuck yourselves.

My point is pointing out spelling errors does not invalidate one's argument. I see this all the time on these fourms and it makes for bad comminucation, it's called a "straw man" argument in logic. I don't post much beacuse most of the time I feel like I'm having a debate with a small child.
