Why was Hugh Boggs worried all day?

Hugh Boggs was worried all day. In the morning he received a letter from the police. They asked him to call at the station. Hugh couldn’t understand why the police wanted him. He didn’t do anything wrong. It was perhaps a mistake.
At the police station a policeman told him that his bicycle had been found. It was picked up in the hills in Wales about a hundred miles away. His name and address were written on the wheel.
The bicycle was sent to his home by train. Hugh was very much surprised when he heard the news. He was amused, too, because it was his old broken bicycle he had left behind last summer when returning to town after his holidays. Now when he receives his bicycle, he will have to think how to get rid of it again.

The differences among legal systems exist because each of the original 13 states was previously sovereign (independent).
