  • not really, different law, and the fact it's 'just a bike' to them may factor in this.

    regarding Japan, the reason why the bike are not locked with expensive heavy duty lock is simple - the law, they're different in Japan, if you were caught, you are very likely not to get a fair hearing, or even a trial at all.

    while here, all they get is a slap on the wrist, and perhaps some fine, but that it, simply because they don't see it as a serious crime, and why would they? to them it's only a cheap bicycle that can be replaced.

    Sorry Ed

    There is no proof that laws act as deterrents anywhere in the world.
