Called the police and we watched the CCTV of an older fellow stroll up to my bike at 5:20pm in broad daylight, unlock my wheel lock and push it away.

By some stroke of luck, on the way back home, I found my bike on the side of the road, just out of view of a security camera. I was able to drive it all of the 100m back home, although the steering lock is wonked out and the ignition has to be replaced.

I found a used kryptonic fogetaboutit lock on taobao and have been using that rediculous chunk of metal to lock it. Also have a cover on the way from the States.

Don't trust Chinese locks to lock even ur bicycle.
Amazing and wonderful outcome. Did it appear from the CCTV that the thief had some kind of master key, or perhaps an actual key for that lock?

I'm also starting to see OnGuard Locks on sale in many stores here in Shanghai. I just had a squiz through Taobao and see there's a ton of choices there.
