Urgent!!! Help needed

I was just pulled by the police for driving without a licence plate on yan'an lu (apperently bikes are not allowed there, i didnt see the sign). The cop was very unecided, while the gf brought my papers from home he was changing his mind and the puishment/ fine every few minutes. When he went to get a truck to move my bike I thought it best to just take my bike and "run." Problem is he has my only key. I need to hotwire my bike now. I need it to get to work in the morning. Anyone have any experience with this? Im fishing through the info online but its a bit sparse with details understandably.

Please help

Fail to plan, plan to fail.
I learned a few nights ago from a fellow last boyscout about this situation.
Because cops like to pounce, and remove your key, YOU SHOULD only have a single key in the ignition, NOT on a key ring will all your other necessary keys!!
2ndly, you should have had a spare key available in a pocket, ready for this scenario!

Sorry to be a negative nancy, I cant really provide any Hotwiring tips,
This post may not be of much help to you right now I am afraid.
But hindsight is priceless.

How many of them? Leave the guy who detain the bike, try talk to his colleges, pay him 200RMB or more, be discreet.
if the bike has legit plate you have higher chance.

Oh, this is a good one. A 3-bagger ...

ah got a locksmith to open my lock, still dont know how to hotwire. My new key is the fuse until I get a new lock. Only lost my house keys thankfully. Actually there is no spare key, I lost it somewhere aong the way and never got around to copying a new one.

edit: there was just one but he got me good. I thought he was just going to tell me to get off the road but when he walked up he just took the key then started talkin, ooooh, he got me soo good

you'll have to take out the lock from the surrounding bodykit
then you (crack) open the lock so you can take the inside out of it's shell, then you can just turn over the inside (like you turn a key)
and it's on

Can't you swap out the whole lock assembly?

Also, I don't understand how you got away with the bike if he had your only key! What am I missing?

Loads of scooters ride Yan'an Lu with impunity. I ride it too on the Jialing, but only rarely. There's obviously another "hit hard" crackdown afoot.

Good luck sorting it all out, and please post!

Yea I think you might be right there jeff, he was giving out maximum fines and wanted to impound m bike till monday. He didnt lock my steering column so after he went away to get truck I pushed the bike away into a quite little xiao qu and left it there till night when i returned and retrieved it.Now It doesnt need a key anymore which is handy I guess, for thieves too but I wuldnt expect them to figure out that the fuse is missing from the battery

Actually I wasn't bummed out at all, I got off really easy. Kept me entertained for a day ( I was unemployed). And it's something I have been expecting to happen one way or another. In the end I paid only 100 ky for a pretty funny story and some lessons learned. Shame about the keys tho
