Wait, so this guy stole a Ubike AND a fridge???
Pretty sure this qualifies as a spree.

I believe itās two different wack foreigners.
Wow.
What are the odds.
Itās the governments fault for not handing out stimulus vouchers to foreigners.

Any non-wack foreigner that has been here since the virus should kind of know the system and that they donāt need to steal bikes when theyāre so cheap to rent.
is he? he is wearing a hoody. who does that in the taiwanese summer other than taiwaneseā¦ just saying
he is wearing a hoody or a jacket. in 30 degrees. typical taiwanese behaviour for taiwanese, not foreigners. if he is a foreigner he is also needs to go to jail for that.

I still donāt see the fridge.
jail for this thug
Got another update, the ubike has been found but we werenāt told where. My friend told me the police didnāt seem particularly interested in the video footage of the thief, or in tracking him down which doesnāt seem that surprising with what I know about Taiwanese police. Anyhow the matter seems to be closed, should I post the full picture of the guy now?

Thatās good to hear for your friend. My experience wasnāt so good.
A few years ago a YouBike that I rented went missing after I had already returned it to a station. The day after Iād returned it I got a call from YouBike saying the bike had never been returned. I told them the station and exact stall I had returned it to, they checked again and said it was gone and that there had been an error in the system when I returned it. They said I needed to go to the police station and report it stolen.
I did as they instructed and submitted the police report to them, thinking the matter would be over. Come to find out they locked my account. They sent a letter saying they would unlock my account if I paid $9,000nt for the bike. I refused to pay for a bike I returned and didnāt steal. Despite my complaints my account remains locked to this day

Unfortunately that was all by phone with the YouBike service person. The only thing I have in writing is the police report and then the letter I got about the $9,000ntd.
At the beginning I was super pissed. But I really love the YouBike system so eventually I dropped it and started just using my credit card to rent bikes. I tried using a different easy card but I needed to register it with YouBike and my account was locked by my phone number. Now, I use an easy card that was registered in my friendās name who has since moved back to the US and gave me his card.

I had a similar issue in Kaohsiung with KBike. Used my credit card 4 years ago to rent a bike, there was a glitch and it still showed as rented. I called them from there and the woman asked which stall i returned it to and recorded it, so she said.
Last year I went to rent a bike in Kaohsiung with that same credit card, itās locked saying I didnāt return the bike 4 years ago . Customer service says i owe them for it as it wasnāt returned. Hung up and used another credit card. But they never called me or wrote me about it.
A workaround is to snag a prepaid number at a different carrier for a month and use it to register a new account at ubike. But youāve got a friendās card so all good.
