Bike theft in Japan
Here's a little something I found on this site: https://www.livejournal.com/~bigmog/
Thought you'd be interested!

bike busted
Steady readers will recall that a month or two ago my bike was stolen and then generously returned to me several weeks later. Now this story has another chapter. I was busted for stealing my own bicycle.
Having no faith in the Japanese police, I didn't bother to cancel the stolen bike report. It turns out that they're a lot better at finding bikes than I anticipated. In fact, they had an undercover cop staking out my bike just waiting for the perpetrator (me) to return. After I identified myself and explained the story, I was able to file the proper report and go on my way. Another lesson learned.
Doesn't that sound like a dream come true?
Too bad they don't take bike theft so seriously in the US...
