1. The elderly man shared with his grandson the glorious history of the sharp decline in the theft of electric bicycles.
A warm ray of light shines through the window on every wrinkle left by the old man's vicissitudes, making it look even deeper. He gently stroked the back of his grandson's immature little hand, his eyes full of love and warmth.
Time flies, and the little boy who was once naughty and mischievous has now grown into a handsome and upright young man.
"Child, do you understand?" The old man smiled, his voice full of warmth and kindness, "The current social environment has changed greatly, and the frequency of theft of electric bicycles has been greatly reduced.
This is undoubtedly the gospel of our people!
The grandson's eyes widened, his face full of curiosity and confusion. He has always had a deep respect for this old man who has gone through countless ups and downs, and every time he hears him tell stories of those past, his grandson always listens attentively.
"It's true, you may not understand it now, but when your grandfather and I were young, the theft of electric bikes was commonplace." The old man frowned, as if he had returned to that era, "The anti-theft performance of electric bicycles that just appeared at that time was extremely low, and the exposed batteries and simple locks were all the culprits that led to theft."
"I still vividly remember that your grandfather bought a new electric bicycle, but after only a few days of use, someone cut the chain and stole it at the entrance of the community." The old man sighed helplessly, "What a heavy mood your grandfather was at that time, he couldn't find it after searching for a long time, and finally he could only accept the loss."
"Entire neighborhoods, and even entire cities, are shrouded in a haze of theft. People have to make sure they lock their cars when they go out, and when they get home, they are still nervous, afraid that their cars have disappeared.
The old man said earnestly, "This not only seriously damaged the social order at that time, but also brought great distress and insecurity to people's daily life."
Second, the old man elaborated on the development process of the electric bicycle industry, from its birth to today's wide application.
The old man closed his eyes, as if he had traveled back in time to the years of decades ago. He carefully selected words and described the development of the e-bike industry in vivid language.
"People called the electric cars of that period like 'newborns'!" The old man lamented, "When it was first born, it looked clumsy and heavy, and the lead-acid battery inside was also very rudimentary, the endurance was worrying, and the charging process was extremely slow."
However, the old man laughed at himself with a smile on his face, "It is such a 'newborn', but it really makes those of us who were once accustomed to traditional cars jaw-dropping." We never imagined that there would be such a fuel-free means of transportation! Not only is it environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, but it is also quite convenient and flexible to use.
"Over the next few decades, this 'newborn' grew and thrived." The old man changed his words and described with his eyebrows, "Today's electric vehicles are no longer just a means of transportation, it symbolizes a cutting-edge, fashionable and environmentally friendly new way of life!" More and more people choose to drive electric vehicles, which is not only for convenience and speed, but also for the pursuit of green and low-carbon life concepts.
"In just a few decades, electric vehicles have grown from a 'newborn' to a leader in their field!" The old man said affectionately, "Its development process is a vivid microcosm of the social progress of our time.
3. The old man recalled the past and told about the frequent theft of electric vehicles.
1. Reasons for the high incidence of crimes: easy to be stolen, difficult to trace, etc.
2. Negative impact on society.
"However, in the early stages of the development of electric vehicles, theft cases are endless." The old man sighed, his eyes revealing a hint of gloom, "At that time, the anti-theft performance of electric vehicles was extremely low, and it became a paradise for thieves."
"At that time, the batteries of electric vehicles were directly exposed to the frame, and they could be easily removed." The old man made a disassembly action, "And the car lock is also extremely simple, most of them are just combination locks or ordinary key locks, which are useless for those who steal cars."
"What is even more outrageous is that there was no unified registration system for electric vehicles at that time, and the vehicle information was chaotic." The old man shook his head and sighed, his tone full of regret, "This makes it difficult for the police to trace through the vehicle information even if the vehicle is stolen, and it is simply clueless."
The old man took a deep breath and his expression became solemn, "Can you understand and appreciate the feeling that when we are in such a community environment, and even the whole city is in the haze of theft?" Every time people take a step out of the house, their hearts are filled with tension and worry, lest their car disappear when they turn around.
"The feeling of being trapped in helplessness and fear has undoubtedly had a negative impact on the daily lives of the general public." The old man's tone gradually became heavy and serious, "This has not only led to serious economic losses, but more seriously, it has had a serious impact on the maintenance of social order and public order."
Therefore, we hope that one day in the future, these tragic events will not be repeated. The old man then elaborated on the three important core factors that have led to the significant reduction in electric vehicle theft.
First of all, the rapid improvement of the anti-theft performance of electric vehicles has made it more difficult for thieves to behave. Secondly, the strict management and supervision system makes the thieves face greater risks. Finally, market diversification and the escalation of consumer attitudes have led to a gradual decrease in the demand for theft.
The old man's expression finally relaxed, and a smile of relief appeared on the corner of his mouth again. "However, good times are not far away, kid." He patted the back of his grandson's hand and said earnestly: "In recent years, with the boom of the electric vehicle industry, the once heart-wrenching thefts have also shown a significant downward trend.
"The main reasons can be summarized in the following three points." The old man stretched out his finger and enumerated them one by one: "First of all, the anti-theft performance of electric vehicles has been greatly improved, making theft increasingly difficult.
"If you look at today's electric cars, the anti-theft measures can be described as layers of encryption." The old man made a mysterious gesture, "The batteries on the car are all cleverly hidden inside the body, and they are not detectable at all.
Even if the body is disassembled, it is even more difficult to remove the battery."
"What's more, those novel car lock designs are no longer the simple combination keys that used to be opened." The old man raised his eyebrows triumphantly, "Some require fingerprint recognition to unlock, and some need to be remotely controlled through a mobile phone APP, which is difficult for an elderly person like me to master its operation method."
When the old man talked about this, he suddenly remembered an interesting anecdote, and told his grandson with a smile: "I once witnessed a thief trying to steal a new electric car, he wandered around the car for a long time, looking around, spent more than half an hour but never found the place to start, and finally was chased by the owner all the way, and fled in embarrassment.
Then the old man playfully imitated the thief's gesture, carefully making a sneaky gesture that made his grandson laugh.
"Secondly, the government's management and supervision of electric bicycles is gradually increasing, and the risk of theft is naturally rising." The old man's tone suddenly became serious, "Since the introduction of the new regulations in 2019, all electric bicycles must complete the registration and annual inspection procedures, otherwise they will not be able to legally drive on the road."
"What's more, surveillance cameras are everywhere today, and facial recognition systems are everywhere, so even if you successfully steal your vehicle, it will be difficult to escape the close surveillance of the 'Sky Eye'."
"Again, with the gradual maturity of the e-bike market and the upgrading of consumer concepts, the demand for theft of e-bikes is gradually decreasing." The old man calculated carefully, "As we all know, there are a wide variety of electric bicycle brands and models today, from entry-level to high-end products.
"Consumers can choose a cost-effective model based on their personal budget, and no longer need to risk buying stolen goods from unknown sources."
"More importantly, the consumption concept of the new generation of young people has changed dramatically compared to our generation." The old man smiled, his tone full of pride, "What they pursue is not only a low-carbon and environmentally friendly lifestyle, but also pay more attention to the quality and safety of products."
"Who else wants to buy those old cars of unknown origin? Therefore, if thieves want to sell their stolen goods, it may be difficult to find a market. ”
5. Looking forward to the future: The old man said to his grandson that the sustained and healthy development of the electric bicycle industry will undoubtedly further curb the occurrence of theft cases, and also indicate the progress of society.
The old man looked around, his eyes firm and powerful, as if he was looking into the future. He clasped his grandson's hands and said earnestly: "Therefore, as long as the e-bike industry can maintain a healthy and stable development trend, those theft cases will decrease year by year, until one day it may disappear completely."
"This not only means that our travel environment will become safer and more civilized." The old man expressed his opinion impassionedly, "More importantly, this indicates that the whole society is moving in a more progressive direction, and people's ideological consciousness and legal concepts are constantly improving."
The old man's tone changed suddenly, and his face shone with a look of great pride: "Now, those car thieves who were once rampant have no way to escape!" With the increasing perfection of the rule of law in our society, the increasingly strict management and supervision measures, and the extensive use of scientific and technological intelligence, the ubiquitous hiding places of these criminals are instantly exposed to the eyes of the world, and they can no longer go unpunished.
