To wit:
The price of this bicycle (plus extras) was:
Mengol bicycle (new) - ¥95
padlock - ¥15
front basket - ¥15
total - ¥125.
Locksmith’s fee for sawing off the padlock - ¥30
So far, I have spent on it ¥155 (yuans), that is to say, €15.5.
Price of the padlock I had sawn off - ¥75.


Linda told the locksmith where the bicycle was and what kind of padlock he would have to saw off. She asked him about the price, and he said it would be between 20 to 30 yuans. Since she had to go, she left me with him, and the two of us walked to the bicycle.
He took the bicycle and carried it, first under his arm and then on his back, until we arrived at a very local (Chinese-only) housing compound at Madang Road, which has a watch-box with a security guard inside.
The locksmith told him what had happened (at least, I think so!), and the security guard offered me a stool to sit on. In the meantime, the locksmith was making a call to tell where we were.
Five minutes later, his wife came on a motorbike with an electric saw. They plugged it in and started to cut through the padlock. It took some while!
I asked him how much it was and paid 30 yuans!
I took my bicycle, rode it to the locksmith’s shop and photographed the shop. Then, I gave him my calling card and asked him for his.
