Motorcycle Mystery or Hashgacha Pratit


Today we solved a mystery! On Thursday, Yitzchok Zevi's beloved (and I mean beloved) riding toy was lifted off of our porch. It was a sad day in the Svei family but I have to give YZ credit- he really took it well. We looked all over our house, our porch, our building but to no avail. What was worse was that I wouldn't be able to replace it. This particular riding toy is made ONLY in S. Africa. I had bought it off of a friend who was moving. I prepared YZ for the possibility that his motorcycle was gone forever. Today I walked into gan to find one of the children sitting on none other than our missing motorcycle! Apparently some kid took it off of our porch, played with it, and then discarded it in a random lobby when he was done. He couldn't take it home- how would he explain this new acquisition to his parents? To our good fortune (siyata dishmaya) that random lobby belonged to a fellow gan-mate, Yossi. Yossi's parents found the motorcycle, put up signs in the building, and got no response. Poor Yossi was a little miffed when his new toy was taken away. This is a picture of an excited YZ sitting on his coveted motorcycle. Case closed!
