Suppose an individual leaves his bicycle outside a store and goes in. A second individual arrives and does the same with his identical bike. The two later return to find one missing ( stolen ). Who loses his bike? Has the court ever ruled in such a case?

The shop that sold it will have a record. So I would say your example is faulty. -- Glend. I can call spirits from the vasty deep. Hot.
