OK...Now I'm REALLY mad!

Every neighborhood, community or shire is comprised of character's.  Both Yin and Yang.  Sometimes a little heavy on the yang!  But it's what defines us a whole.  In our neighborhood one such person is "Smitty".  Anyone that lives around here has at least seen him, and to those who have taken the time to return his friendly "Hey There!"their lives are briefly a little richer.  An unassuming gentleman, in the Springtime of his early 80's, he seems more like Mr. Tolkien ideal Hobbit elder.  as he putters back and forth on his "shabby chic" 15 (or so) year old Schwinn.  Whether it be to flirt with the girls at Sweetbay, or talk to say a good day to "G" and Hannah and the rest at "Dollar General" or to stop by and swap biking stories at our shop while we air up his forever leaking tires.
Well Smitty may not be coming around as much anymore.
Yesterday, whilst in the midst of a busy rush, Poor Smitty choked up with tears in his eyes burst into the shop to announce that "They stole My bike!"
Now, not a day goes by that we don't hear the unfortunate tale of someone who's bike got stolen, and as much as we feel a great deal of sympathy for them, you realize that to most...it's just a bike.  the feeling of violation is more prevalent then any emotional attachment to the machine.
But not to Smitty.  This was his transportation, his freedom, his way to stay connected to his friends and his routine.  It was not "JUST" a bike.
Now I know the pride he took in that old bike.  As much as he could muster he put a little here and there in it to keep it running smooth, and always kept it clean, and the reality is, he'll probably never see it again.
Sad.  We can't give back what's lost, but we'd like to try and give him a replacement.  We unfortunately have no geared Beach Cruiser style bikes (that's his bike of choice, as the basket fit better and it's lower to the ground and sturdier and more stable for him) So we're asking if anyone within ear shot has such a bike that they'd be willing to sell, no matter the shape (we'll fix it up!) we'd like to get it to him to get him back on his feet (er....tires!)
Thanks to all!

this is very close to what he rode.  Although his was Red..and older!
