As Jack Butala for Land Academy. Welcome to our Cash Flow from Land Show. We show you how to buy property for half of what it's worth and resell it the next day. Great information and instruction from Jack, that's me.

Jill:

Inspiration from Jill, that's me.

Jack:

Here's some funny stuff that happened to both of us recently.

Jill:

Somebody decided Steven should be on a skateboard instead of his Cannondale.

Jack:

Oh my gosh.

Jill:

I'm sorry. I hope it's not too soon.

Jack:

You know what's not healthy? We should not have something funny happen to us every single day.

Jill:

I know. Okay, let me back up-

Jack:

What if we just-

Jill:

Two nights ago-

Jack:

Sit on the couch more.

Jill:

We went downstairs. We were walking to a restaurant. We're here at the beach, and we're walking to a restaurant. We walked past our vehicle only to notice that someone had cut the lock, taken off my bike and put it to the side.

Jack:

Neatly put it to the side and stole my bike.

Jill:

Steven's bike, which was the second one again. Wait, it gets better. They left their skateboard.

Jack:

They upgraded their transportation situation.

Jill:

Exactly. I'm so sorry.

Jack:

They did everything except leave a thank you note.

Jill:

I know. I'm so sorry. It is so not funny, and I'm so sorry that that happened Steven. I've got to say, I really do feel bad.

Jack:

It was a sweet Cannondale racing bike that I exercise on. Now I've got to go replace that, and-

Jill:

I know.

Jack:

It's just ... No, it's not too soon man. Honestly, do you know what would have really sucked? If they stole your bike because you have a love affair with that bike.

Jill:

I do have a love affair with my bike.

Jack:

I can replace my stuff. I don't have any emotion about it at all. It's just an inconvenience. That for me, that's where it ends. I have no emotion about it. Now I have to go buy another bike, put the lights on it, bright seat, and the whole thing. It's not convenient.

Jill:

What I thought was so funny is the conversation you and I had about it later about, "Wow, how weird is ... What do you feel bad so you leave your skateboard? 'Hey I'm stealing your bike, but I'm not really that bad of a person, so I'm leaving you my skateboard.'" What the heck?

Jack:

It cracks me up man.

Jill:

I know, I'm sure they could've got home with their skateboard too. I don't get it. It's so funny.

Jack:

If you're listening to this show, and you have a purple Cannondale that you just bought off of Craigslist it's my bike.

Jill:

Exactly.

Jack:

You know what? Keep it. It's my gift to you.

Jill:

You know what? This stuff happens.

Jack:

Yeah.

Jill:

That's the better thing, how you and I choose to react about this stuff is important.

Jack:

Yeah.

Jill:

We can be all calling the police. You know what I mean? I thought about that. We could've called the police and filed the report, whatever, and done the insurance thing, but that's not ... We're not doing that.

Jack:

No.

Jill:

Just replace it and move on.

Jack:

Yeah.

Jill:

You've got a skateboard now.

Jack:

My second thought was, "Man, I'm getting a new bike."

Jill:

Yeah. I love it. I love how you roll Jack.

Jack:
