In the Full House season 7 episode The Bicycle Thief, the Tanner family is distraught when Stephanie's fancy pink bicycle is stolen from their front yard. Everyone is on edge as they feel violated that someone would come onto their property and steal from them. In the following days, the family is determined to find the culprit and get the bike back.
As they search for clues, Joey witnesses what he believes to be a suspect driving Stephanie's bike down the street. He gets into his car and follows the thief until he loses sight of them. This sighting lights a fire in the family and they start devising a plan to catch the thief themselves.
Meanwhile, Kimmy Gibbler's younger brother, Garth, is spending the week with the Tanners. He's brash and unapologetic, often making rude comments to the family members. However, he proves himself useful when he helps DJ and Steve concoct a plan to catch the bike thief.
With Garth's help, they stake out the park where they believe the thief may be selling the stolen bikes. As luck would have it, they spot a man selling a bike that looks eerily similar to Stephanie's. DJ and Steve approach the man and argue with him, but he denies stealing anything and insists that the bike is his own.
The situation escalates when the thief makes a run for it, and the Tanner crew chases him down. As they follow him through the park, they eventually catch up to him and confront him again. Just as things start to get heated, a police car pulls up, and the thief is taken into custody.
After the thief is caught and Stephanie's bike is returned to her, the Tanner family reflects on what they learned from the ordeal. They realize that they always had each other, and that they don't need material possessions to be happy. As the episode comes to a close, the Tanner family enjoys a reflective moment in their backyard, grateful for each other and newfound sense of peace.
The Bicycle Thief is an action-packed episode that tackles the themes of theft, morality, and gratitude. The Tanner family is put to the test as they band together to solve a difficult problem, but their determination and love for each other ultimately triumphs.
