Wow! I think we got pretty easily! Nothing hurt or lost permanently...

Now that I think about it, we did have an incident in India back in 1991. John needed to go to the American Express office to cash a check so he rode his bike over there. When he got to the office, he found there was nothing to lock his bike to, so he locked it with the chain next to the guard hoping that nobody would simply pick it up and walk off.

As he stood in line at AMEX, he just had a feeling - one of those gut feelings. He left the line and dashed down to his bike - it was gone!! The guard wasn't there either.

Somebody pointed a finger down into the busy market down the street, so John took off running - the man was carrying his bike right through the market! John tackled the man, grabbed his bike, rode back to our hotel, then walked to the AMEX office.
