useful here in catching the bad guys, the eye-in-the-sky is oddly disturbing

no eye in the sky. Airport CCTV probably saw them catch a taxi at the taxi stand, asked the taxi driver where he took them. not so sinister, and not difficult.

Not to defend the thieving Chinese I would like to tell you all a short story. I lived and worked in Guilin, Guangxi, China for four years and the only problem I had was that one night while at a restaurant my GF and I frequented she was robbed of her top of the line Nokia phone. As a Marine I should have sensed the problem right away when I saw a guy drinking tea, only tea, in a restaurant. In China if you only want tea and a snack you go to a Tea House. Anyways, we sat down at the only available table which was next to this tea drinker. My GF hung her purse over the back of her chair with her back to the tea guy and we proceeded to order our food. After a short time the tea guy got up and left and one of the waitress approached my GF and asked her to check her bag as there was something "wrong" with the tea guy. She found that her phone was missing but I suggested that she had left it at home?? We finished our meal and went home and after checking around our apartment, sure enough, no phone and she had been robbed. About 20 minutes later we get a call on our land line from the police. They had caught the tea guy with her phone and they phoned a few numbers on the phone and they were informed who owned the phone. My GF left to get her phone at the police station and I asked her "how in the hell did they find the stolen phone so fast"? When she returned home I asked her what the police had said to my question and all they had said was...."we have our ways". Having lived in Thailand for 30 years I figured that China would be the same and I was looking at buying another expensive phone in the morning.....

Well we usually like a Chinese Takeaway but not this sort.  I have spent quite a few years travelling in China on business and experienced the good and bad side of Chinese people.  Pointless trying to generalise but I would say I have had more negatives than positives.  Then again that is just me.

 You are right. When I come to CM I go to the taxi office, near the exit. They ask to what hotel I am going.  And I am not 3 Chinese men.

Was it at night time?

Would it then be “charged with theft at an airport at night time”.

Whats the charge if its at a bus depot?

Sadly true. I had way less things stolen from me in 14  years in Thailand than in only 1.5 years in China! And the police, though more present than in Thailand, is even more useless!

I guess I had better cops in Guilin???

[bizboi]

Cops only do one thing in Hubei province of China thats defend the Communist partys honour - a guy I work with had a knife pulled on him because he complained a bout a Chinese guy coming into his apartment and switching his water off - the policeman who came to answer his wifes call said

 

a) The foreigner should shut up and not complain

Why did the foreigner have a bottle of wine in the kitchen?

 

Most Thai (and other SEAsian) mentality and face saving antics is part of Chinese culture (or lack of)
