LEWISTON, Maine (AP) -- A thief in Maine stole a 66-year-old bicycle that belonged to an 83-year-old woman. Ruth Slovenski got the blue Huffy bicycle as a gift when she was a teenager in 1943. The bike was stolen after she left it unlocked Saturday during a visit to a nursing home in Lewiston, a southern Maine city of about 35,000 residents where Slovenski lives.
Police said Slovenski had left the bike near a mailbox. When she went back to it two hours later, the bike was gone.

The bicycle has wide fenders and a large metal basket. A nursing home security video shows a man wearing a hat and dark clothing riding off on a bike that fit that description.
A lot of people are going to feign outrage over this story. Who could steal an 83 yr olds 66 yr old bike? Well, I know exactly who and I don't feel bad for this lady one bit. This has inside job written all over it.
I mean grandkids can only get made fun of for so long before they strike back. Imagine these poor kids on the playground as grams rolls by on a bike that was made before Hawaii was a state. How many holidays did they plead with her to end their misery, while she gives some bullshit sob story about how her dad gave it to her on the day he died from polio. You left these kids with no choice. You reap what you sow.
