The unthinkable has finally happened to me. I lost around S$900+ last night. Damn sway. Luckily the motherfucker did not steal my passport! KNN. In ZH there are many small kids who are pickpockets. They work with an adult.
Made a police report also no use as there's no ID of any suspects. It just happens in a flash.
ZH is really a fucked up place now. With my misfortune and early closure of entertainment places. LHL FLs are also hiding here and there from police.

In PRC, I am more afraid of small kids than adults! Everywhere, country-wide, they use small kids to steal / pickpockets. U cant really beat them when u catch them, they probably even accuse u back! But I'd seen locals beating up small kids with weapons like planks, base-ball bats, etc. Even the adult "owners" come, oso whack. Wanna play, make it big all the way!
For me, I always put everything in my front pockets, anywhere in the world. It's even not easy for me to take out my mobile phones / wallet, not to mention anyone else trying to do it w/o my attention.
Making a police report on theft / pickpocket is useful only for record purpose, ie, the bank cards, passport / identification documents. Unless u know the gangs that operate, and that oso provided the thief belongs to 1 of those gangs and not those random / gangless thiefs.
ZH's "market" has been spoilt for some time. When I was 1st in ZH, the quality & service of the MMs are real good & cheap! Imagine, ST 200 RMB, overnite can get for 350 RMB. Last time I was there was early last year, the MMs even ask for tips? That's ridiculous, tipping WLs is not PRC's practice. The MMs even tried to bargain wif me, agree to give her how much tips, she'll agree to provide better service / or this or that. I told her straight in the face, she can say all these, but even if I agree or give, I dont feel the guarantee that the service will be satisfactory! And I sent her off w/o paying, of course didnt do anything. Similarly, several other parts of PRC's market is oso getting spoilt.
