Well, it has been nearly two weeks since Bluey Louey was taken and I have made some headway toward recovering her. I received the official receipt (fa piao) from the original owner and went to get insurance yesterday. They wanted to charge me 400 RMB, since they thought it was a high power, high speed three wheel motorcycle (not a laoren che, or elderly person car). I decided not to go for it, since there is still a slim chance of recovery and I don't want to invest more. I think I found where she is imprisoned as well...the three wheel bike boneyard. This confirms my suspicion that these are being ousted from Kunming. Hundreds of three wheel bikes-gas, electric and pedal power, all locked up; confiscated because entrepreneurial peasants thought they could make a buck providing low cost neighborhood transportation services. Well, I am not entrepreneurial, nor am I a peasant, but I was caught in the dragnet. Well, I have a couple of more days to find some affordable insurance and that might be my only hope of getting her back, even though I have proof of ownership now. I might call a friend of mine at an insurance and pull in some guangxi. Once with an insurance card, I will go down and submit my paperwork, along with an apology.
