We also did this one for the Spring 2007 NYCPlaywrights fundraiser.
Watch that version here.
Based on an incident that happened to two of my brothers and I, when we went to a playground in Camden NJ, declared America's Most Dangerous City in 2004. A gang of kids - but all boys - did steal our bikes - and beat up my brothers, but not me, and then we actually tried to follow the gang, and then some hippy Latino teenager helped us find our bike, which had been abandoned.
