【TV Movie Archives】

Canada,TV Movie Archives your reputation for being polite and saying sorry precedes you, even when it comes to people who were up to no good.

On July 29, Mel Flesher from British Columbia, Canada, posted a plea on Facebook for anyone to help find her boyfriend’s kids’ motorbike.

It was a sweet yellow Yamaha that she discovered was missing from their apartment complex that day. She and her boyfriend recently got the bike fixed up so they could teach the kids how to ride.

As Flesher’s post started circulating on Facebook, the teens who stole the bike actually saw the post and decided to do something about it.

By the next day, Flesher had some good news to share on Facebook. The bike had been returned where they left it, this time with an apology letter was taped to the bike.

In the note, the teens apologized for their actions and shared a bit of of their own good news. They bought the bike a new, secure lock, filled the tank, andtopped up the oil.

Flesher wrote in her new Facebook post the sound like good kids, and she forgave them for what they’d done.

The teens’ letter reads:

Hello:

Well we should start by saying sorry for stealing your son’s bike. Although not an excuse, me and my friend figured it would belong to some teenager who had outgrown it. When we read your Facebook post we immediately knew we had to take it back to him. We’ve bought him a new, more secure lock as the previous one was already broken. The keys are in with the bike key. For the future, take the key inside with you. I know we aren’t really in a place to give advice, but the heartbreak your son must have felt upon discovering his bike missing should never be relived. We have filled the tank and topped up the oil for him. Again, we really are sorry for putting him through this. We wish you two the best in his journeys riding, and we hope you both can find it in your hearts to forgive us. Ride on, little man. You deserve it!
