When I was in elementary school, we came home from shopping and discovered someone had pried off the lock and stolen my bike. I was inconsolable. About an hour later I spotted a kid from my class riding my bike, and managed to recover it.

I looked that guy up a few years ago. Found him on the sex offender registry.

In high school, one of my classmates shot and killed his sister's friend while cleaning a .22 rifle. There was a trial, but I don't remember the verdict. As a minor, it might have been sealed. He disappeared for about a year. When he came back, he was completely withdrawn and...changed.

There was a guy at my high school that was just an absolute jackass. One of those guys that you know is never going to amount to anything, and will probably be in prison shortly after graduation. He disappeared my junior year, I thought he had moved.

I looked that guy up a few years ago. Actually, he had broken into someone's house (a burglary) and beat the shit out of the homeowner when he was discovered. But he'd also been held back in school a couple times, so he was 18 when he did it. When I looked him up, he had just been released from prison.
