Today, I rode my newly-purchased bicycle to Lowe's to look at flooring and back splashes for our upcoming remodel. Upon leaving the store, I found out that my bicycle had been stolen by someone who had bought a hacksaw from that store while I was shopping. They left the receipt to mock me. FML

he's an idiot. The receipts have time stamps. Talk to the staff, identify who bought a hacksaw around that time and done

Did they pay with card? That can be used to find them.

Yeah, not going to feel bad for your rich ass.

Doing a remodel doesn't mean someone is rich. My parents have done two remodels on our house and we don't have much. The first after a house fire due to a wiring error. The second after pipes burst and flooded our house. They were both covered by insurance because someone screwed up.

Can use the stamp to find him if he used a card, hope you get your bike back OP!

Receipt. Sorry, got distracted when I wrote this lol

how did you find the receipt? Was it left by your broken bike chain. I'm confused.

Good chance the receipt might of just fell out of the bag or pocket when riding off. Stupid for thief but could be the key to catching him. Good luck op.

Contact the store, or actually probably the police and let them contact the store but still. Lowe's has cameras everywhere, that person will be on camera. And if you have the receipt they left behind they might be able to use any card info on it (if there is any) to find out who it was.

If you kept the receipt, take it to customer service, tell them what happened, and give it to them. Each receipt has a barcode on it that employees can scan. If the thief payed with a card, that barcode will bring up their information. Even if they didn't use a card, the receipt will tell them the time and date the saw was purchased, and at which register, for security footage to pin down the thief.

Everyone is talking about security cameras, which of course is a good idea, but the sad thing is it's more than likely that other customers saw the thief and no one stopped him.

The next FML: Today, I got a new bicycle for the cost of a hacksaw. Unfortunately I left the receipt with my fingerprints and transaction time stamp they could match up with the security camera footage.
