Continuing the events as they unfolded...
- I wake up on a sofa in an underpass below a major road at around 10am
- My only possessions are my shirt, shorts, underwear, socks, shoes and a few hundred RMB in my top pocket (no bicycle anywhere)
- I find a metro station and go back to where I met Aston the night before
- I trail the route from the metro station to the restaurant where we ate the night before
- I ask Aston's hair salon if they have his contact details, but they don't
- I head back to the area that I know Aston's offices are
- In the area is an internet cafe. I tried contacting Aston via email hoping he would see my message. He did later in the day
- The cafe manager, Daniel, is able to track down where Aston works by doing a search on the net
- I find Aston at work. He doesn't have my bike and the money in my pocket it probably his.
- Daniel and I go on the hunt for my bike. We go back to the place where I woke up.
- Daniel asks a policeman stationed nearby if he is aware of anything. Policeman shakes his head in the negative and is very unhelpful.
- Daniel and I search around the sofa for any clues but can't find any
- Walking past the policeman Daniel overhears a street cleaner talking to the policeman about a bicycle
- On further inquiry we establish it is my bike. The street cleaner had locked the bike in his shed not far from the sofa. Apparently he had found it on the side of the road at 6 am that morning.
- I gave the street cleaner a RMB300 reward from Aston's cash in my pocket
- I stayed with Aston in his apartment this night
Missing items:
1 x wallet with Chinese & UK bank cards (all travel funds), aprox. RMB200 cash, HK travel card
1 x cell phone with all contacts
1 x really cool bicycle pump
Mystery questions:
- did I ever make it to Aston's apartment with my bike?
- how did I get Aston's money in my top pocket?
- why did I leave in the middle of the night?
Answer:
Drunk people are stupid!
