Laurel Mountain Elementary Mystery!

Just a routine evening of Scott and I playing baseball in the back yard led to quite a mystery. It started innocently enough when I pitched a hanging curveball to Scott, which he crushed over the backyard fence into the Laurel Mountain Elementary property.

As we searched around looking for the ball, Scott looked up a discovered what appears to be a very old bicycle wedged into a Live Oak tree. It looked fairly ancient as you can see in the photo.

The speculation began... how did it get there? How long has it been there? Who's bike was it? Why wasn't it claimed? Was it intact or as it now exists missing wheels, chains, etc?

Then the theories began... each more outlandish than the previous theory. Could it have been a boy riding his bike on the Laurel Mountain elementary roof top with wings trying to fly? As he peddles and flaps his wings gravity slowly pulls him down, right in the "Y" in thr trunk of the tree.

Scott doesn't think the angle of entry in relationship to the roof top supports this theory. Upon further review, it's hard to rebut this argument.

Your theories are welcome in the comment field below. Have fun!
