Bike A.W.O.L.

08Oct07

Yesterday, I got ready for church, planning to ride my bike to service as usual. Unfortunately, when I went to get my bike, it was gone.

I had to walk a half mile to the nearest police station. Fortunately, the police officers were helpful and patient with my nearly non-existent Japanese skills. After a half hour or so of clumsy conversation I was able to relate the necessary information, then it took another half an hour or so to fill out all the paperwork.

Hopefully my bike turns up soon. I really need it.

    Is it safe to assume they punish things like vehicle theft in Japan?

    I thought crimes, esp petty ones, were extremely rare in Japan, perhaps this is a case where it was that rare percent, sorry dude:o(

    They just hate you because you’re white. Get used to it.

    good luck getting it back…
    It’s happened to a few of my friends and they didn’t get their’s back.
    One of my friends got caught with a stolen bike before though, so it’s not impossible atleast..
