Damn bike thieves of Kunming. This city is the worst in China in regards to bikes and ebikes being stolen. Sorry yours got snatched.

Alex is it really? Dang. Yeah I had it locked, with an ignition lock and alarm. I was gone ten minutes. I bet thieves have a set of universal keys.

Were you parked in a “secure” park (i.e. with “guards” at tickets for entry/exit)? I always wonder how secure these parking lots are…

Was it being “guarded” by a “guard”? Does that actually make any difference, does anyone know? So much thieving goes on in Kunming. Pickpockets at every busy bus stop…

The problem with bike parks is that they are in a quiet corner.
It is bloody annoying, I hate thieves.

Buy a piece of crap that no self respecting Chinese person would be seen dead riding.
And put a note on it saying ‘Steal Me’.
Or just paint cuss words on it. They will not pay to re-paint it.
