Story Transcript:

Sl: Poletje v Ljubljani je bilo vroče.
En: Summer in Ljubljana was hot.

Sl: Sonce je sijalo skozi velika okna policijske postaje, kjer so sence padale čez mize naložene s papirji.
En: The sun shone through the large windows of the police station, where shadows fell across tables piled with papers.

Sl: Miha, študent, ki se je pripravljal na veliko kolesarsko tekmovanje, je hitel skozi vrata.
En: Miha, a student preparing for a big cycling competition, rushed through the door.

Sl: Njegovo kolo, dragocen Cannondale, je izginilo.
En: His bike, a valuable Cannondale, had disappeared.

Sl: Na postaji je bilo vse polno ljudi.
En: The station was full of people.

Sl: Ljudje so govorili glasno, policisti so hiteli, telefoni so zvonili brez prestanka.
En: People spoke loudly, officers rushed around, and phones rang incessantly.

Sl: Miha je iskal pomoč.
En: Miha was seeking help.

Sl: "Prosim, potrebujem pomoč," je rekel dekletu za sprejemnim pultom, ki ga je z zanimanjem gledala.
En: "Please, I need help," he said to the girl at the reception desk, who was watching him with interest.

Sl: To je bila Ana, pridna policistka začetnica.
En: This was Ana, a diligent rookie policewoman.

Sl: "S čim lahko pomagam?
En: "How can I assist?"

Sl: " ga je vprašala Ana z nasmehom.
En: Ana asked with a smile.

Sl: "Kolo so mi ukradli.
En: "My bike was stolen.

Sl: Tekma je čez teden dni.
En: The race is in a week.

Sl: Res ga potrebujem nazaj," je Miha razložil, njegova skrb razvidna iz oči.
En: I really need it back," explained Miha, his worry visible in his eyes.

Sl: Ana ga je vodila do pisarne, kjer je sedel Jure, izkušen preiskovalec.
En: Ana led him to an office where Jure, an experienced investigator, sat.

Sl: Jure je bil videti utrujen, mize pred njim so bile polne prijav.
En: Jure looked tired, the desk in front of him full of reports.

Sl: Pokimal je, ko mu je Miha pojasnjeval situacijo.
En: He nodded as Miha explained the situation.

Sl: "Imamo veliko primerov ta teden," je dejal Jure.
En: "We have a lot of cases this week," said Jure.

Sl: "Ampak obljubim, da bomo poskušali najti tvoje kolo.
En: "But I promise we will try to find your bike."

Sl: "Miha je vedel, da bo moral vzeti stvari v svoje roke.
En: Miha knew he would have to take matters into his own hands.

Sl: Pogledal je skozi okno, kjer so se mimo vozili drugi kolesarji.
En: He looked out the window, where other cyclists rode by.

Sl: Imel je zamisel.
En: He had an idea.

Sl: Objavil je sliko in opis svojega kolesa na družbenih omrežjih, prosil za pomoč.
En: He posted a picture and description of his bike on social media, asking for help.

Sl: Dnevi so minevali, brez sledu o kolesu.
En: Days passed with no trace of the bike.

Sl: Poln obupa je bil Miha, dokler ni prejel sporočila preko spleta.
En: Miha was full of despair until he received an online message.

Sl: Nekdo, ki ga ni poznal, je napisal, da je videl kolo na trgu v Šiški.
En: Someone he didn't know wrote that they saw the bike at the market in Šiška.

Sl: Hitro je poklical Jureta in mu pokazal sporočilo.
En: He quickly called Jure and showed him the message.

Sl: Jure je pokimal, ogenj v njegovih očeh se je znova vnel.
En: Jure nodded,
