Bicycle theft

[Lao Jia Hou]

Yup - ZMC888 is correct with the style. There was a cut placed directly beside the horizontal piece. A little pressure from one's leg/foot and it moves aside. I've also seen a few old ones with breaks (hit by a car trying to park???). The one where my bike was taken is out front of the VIVA mall (Shuangjing), about 30 meters from that little Traffic Police hut.

People are always bitchin' about my complete lack of pic-taking ability, so I just don't any more.

Trees / lamp posts are a good idea.

That really sucks. I'm sorry to hear about that. I hate hearing stories like that, but I hear it often. I guess honestly, it's part of the expat experience to have to be done over once. My first night out in Shanghai I got taken for a good ride by a 'taxi'. My own fault.
