SALEM, Ore. (AP) - If it's on the floor at the Goodwill store in Salem, it's for sale. So when Cody Young parked his bicycle in the wrong place, it got sold.

Not only that, the bike that cost $232 four years ago went for $6.99

"That was just insulting," the seventh-grader said.

Young said he and friends went to the store on Sunday to look at speakers. He didn't have a lock, but his friends told him they'd previously parked inside the store. He left it near other bikes that were for sale. While they were shopping, his black BMX bike was sold.

Goodwill officials were unable to immediately identify the bike's purchaser.

Goodwill spokeswoman Dale Emanuel said the store doesn't permit bikes inside - to avoid just such mix-ups.

She said it's not the first such sale in Goodwill's busy Columbia Willamette system, which did $77 million in sales in 2006.

Once, Emanuel said, a janitor left a bucket and mop on the sales floor, and a store sold them the next day

"What goes on the floor sells," she said.

There's a happy ending to the latest mix-up, however.

The buyer saw a story in the Salem Statesman-Journal about the incident and called to make things right. Goodwill is giving the person a $100 gift certificate for coming forth.
