40th birthday · from a sibling · £150+

For my 40th my brother tracked down the exact model of bike I had stolen when I was nineteen. Not a similar one — the same frame, the same year, the same slightly ugly green. He found it on an auction site abroad and had it shipped.

I had not mentioned that bike in twenty years. I did not know he had registered it at the time. He said he remembered because I had been so calm about it, which apparently worried him more than shouting would have.

It is not a better bike than the one I own now. That is not really the point of it.
