One afternoon my 　20 asked David to go to the local shop on business. He rode his bicycle, but foolishly 　21 it outside the shop without putting on the lock. When David came out of the shop, it was 　22 . He walked home in tears and then, together with his exasperated mother, went to the local police station to report the theft（盗窃案）.

Imagine their 　23 when they arrived at the station: a car parked out front had David’s bike wedged in the boot.
