Stolen Bike
Stolen Bike - a few weeks ago someone left an expensive mountain bike in the car par to our flats. We have stopped at least 2 attempts to steal it by hooded yoofs. Now we have it under lock and key. But how to find the owner is a moot point. We have tried Hillingdon Council - they say its a police matter. We have tried the local police and they says its a Council matter. CJB

CJB How do you know the hooded yoofs didn't include the owner among their number? People of such descriptions often ride bikes. |

Why would anyone leave an expensive bike just lying in public with no lock? |

Your answer makes no grammatical sense. You can't answer a why with a pronoun. |

Your answer makes no grammatical sense. You can't answer a why with a pronoun. "Hitler" is a proper noun, not a pronoun. There is no reason why a question may not be answered - colloquially - with a marker term which plainly stands for a whole argument, though in the instant case, Godwin threatens to intervene. I could have just written: "Godwin". |
