What to Do If a Temporarily Locked Vehicle Is Taken by Someone Else?

Report to the police immediately on-site, and notify the shared bike customer service promptly while waiting for the police to arrive. Follow the police's instructions, provide necessary information, and leave your phone number. Check nearby shops and surveillance cameras to inquire about video footage as evidence.
Oh, if the car is temporarily locked and still gets driven away, I think the first step is not to panic and stay calm. I've seen this happen quite a bit after driving for so long. Immediately take out your phone and call 110 to report it, providing detailed information like the location, time, license plate number, car model, and color. If the car has GPS tracking or an app for locating it, open it right away to see if you can find its position. Also, don’t forget to contact your insurance company—reporting the theft coverage can help mitigate the loss. Look for nearby surveillance footage; it might capture the thief’s appearance. For theft prevention, I suggest always ensuring the remote lock works properly when locking the car to avoid leaving vulnerabilities, or install an additional anti-theft alarm to prevent it from being easily taken again. Next time you park temporarily, try to choose a crowded place and don’t be careless. If all else fails, consult roadside assistance or a professional locksmith for remedies.
