Whenever we were stealing a bike , a boy named John would break the lock two other boys were watching out. Then one of us would the bike to a cave （洞穴）. The next day ,we would meet there and repaint the bike. When we stole four or five bikes ,we would sell them a few hundred dollars.
One afternoon ,we went to an apartment in Bukit Batok. We found a bike on the fifth floor and started to work on the . It was hard to break. We spent 10 minutes it. We were about to escape with the bike when the owner of the bike came out of the elevator. “ My bike !” he .
We dropped the bike and ran down but two policemen nearby us. We were taken to the police station. Our parents were called and our teachers were told what had happened. The police took down what we had done. The next day ,a bright Sunday, I to the Boys’ Home.
