Teen son was at friend's house. As usual he had stashed his bike in the garage there. Party ensued, more and more people arrived, things got out of hand, there was damage to house, my son's friend got into a lot of trouble. When unwanted 'guests' departed, friend went to garage to check on something and saw that son's bike had disappeared.
