You have to sneeze on it before you leave in unattended.

My friend went to the police station and reported it, they got in contact with the ubike company so the missing bike is cleared from his yo-yo card, and, as someone stated before, itās now in the hands of the ubike company and the police. I donāt know if the guy turned himself in or not. Here he is in all his edited beauty.
What a weirdo; wearing a long sleeve like that in the Taipei summer.

Just because heās blonde doesnāt mean heās a foreigner. Lots of Taiwanese bleach their hair.
He had western features and the woman at the golf club said he was a foreigner who couldnāt understand her, thatās why she left him alone.

Sometimes I have to get a second look and itās hard to tell from cctv footage. There are Taiwanese with bleached hair, who has western features (perhaps they had Dutch ancestor at some points in the past), albino Taiwanese (they trigger easily, does not like being mistaken for Americans), etc.
Looking at the photo heās very white.

Having dealt with this recently, YouBike may still come after you for money. They were threatening to charge $12k for āloss of incomeā if the bike isnāt recovered in 3 months. The police will do everything they can to file the report as a āmissing itemā instead of theft, because it means they donāt actually have to investigate.

One bike can make 12k in 3 months?!

Rather that it costs 12k to make.
The terms says:
If you lose your bike should report the case with the local police and obtain a proof of report. You are
obliged to pay the rental fee from time you rented the bike until the time you receive the proof or report. Next, proceed in person to a service center and present the proof of report of loss of the bike. If within three months from the day of loss, the bike is not found, you will have to pay the operational loss fee of TWD 9,000.

Which adds to the pile of what a shitty thing to do, take a bike that is already taken by other.
Thinking twice of just leaving the bike somewhere. Better try to dock it, take another one.

How often do a youbike get stolen? I have never locked one the few times I have left it outside a 7-11 or f-mart.
Itās about time to start thinking about the possibility.

If I see a foreigner with bleach blonde hair I will definitely not park it. Other than that I need to see some statistics before I start locking the bike here.

Iām sure one of us will see a bleach blonde foreigner on a Ubike if we keep our eyes open.
Unless he took it to another city where they have ubikes.
