When I was in college people (United States) people would lose 1 wheel at a time if the bike was locked. And if the wheels were gone, the handle bar would go missing right after. The police stations are not as safe as one would think. Last month the news had said there was a car with a dead body in it parked in the police station parking lot for a few days....WTF? In the United States, seriously..lazy or just oblivious? WTF? You should have locked your bike.

We never trust them, and they won't serve for us except you bribe them. It well known to our Chinese people that police men are one of most corruptive group in China.

The best PSB story I have heard: A guy in Hong Kong bought a brand new Mercedes. He was so proud of it. And it was stolen in Hong Kong. He went to Shenzhen for business, and, ala, he saw his own car running around the city. It was a stolen vehicle, right ? So he went to the PSB to report it. He was arrested right away, for importing a vehicle without a permit. I suspect he's crime was not knowing the PSB was in on the deal.

I had a similar experience crossing the street in front of the main PSB in Sanya. As I stood in the middle of the street waiting for traffic, two guys on a motorcycle pulled a u-turn right in front of me. Just as my brain was registering "wow, they're kind of close to me..." the guy on the back reached out and grabbed my bag, which was strapped across my body. They sped off, ripping the bag from me. Of course nobody at the PSB saw/did anything. Later as I stood there bleeding from the neck making my report, they didn't even have the courtesy to be sheepish about it happening right in front of their building. Instead they told me "You should be more careful." I’m assuming the bike was locked…
