It solves the problem in Japan. Japan just isn't like other countries; they have citizens who actually care about their society and don't want to be seen as leeches on it.
It's no wonder they don't want to import a bunch of foreigners. I can just imagine how their society would be completely ruined if they allowed millions of Americans to move in. Bike theft would be the least of their problems.
- gambiting 11y agoThe question is - would japan have a bike theft problem without bike registration scheme? I suspect not, for the reasons you mentioned. In which case, the registration numbers are more of a curiosity than anything. My own country(Poland) had mandatory bike registration 30 years ago(during communist rule) and no, it didn't stop bike theft.
