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..
I’m sorry. I really do hope that turns up!
