Bike borrowed from library. Owner needs for college Son needs the bike for transportation at EKU. He does not drive. Finder can leave in front of Shutterbug Studios, 300 Greensburg ST, Columbia, KY From Christine Ussery My son had his bike "borrowed" from in front of the library today. It is a blue mountain bike. He does not drive and it is his only means of transportation when he goes to college next week. If the borrower would be so kind as to leave it in front of Shutterbug Studios, there will be no questions asked. We just need the bike back. He only left it there for a short 20 minutes while he visited me at work. He was bringing me a blackberry Little Debbie Pie because he knows I start to flag a little in the afternoons. He is a great kid and needs that bike. He starts at EKU next week. Please help if you can! 2009-08-13 16:43:35 | Comments | Printable version
