Ah, what a shame. It's always bad when it's a kid, and having two bikes stolen ... it does make you wonder if it might even be the same thieves. I hope he gets it back (fat chance, I know) and finds a safer place to keep it, although I imagine he may not be able to keep it in the house. Most bike thefts are from places like sheds or gardens.
I've told them they need to get some ground anchors in concrete and d-locks but obviously all this is money and it's never nice worrying about stuff in your own yard.
