Last week my flat-mate came home depressed because someone had stolen her bicycle. The next day, she was complaining to a classmate of hers about it. The classmate happened to know the gang who went around stealing bikes, and he made some inquiries. Later, he told her he'd found 3 bikes the same color as hers picked up in her neighborhood, and she could come over and ID them - sure enough, she found hers, and took it back.
I think this story is amazing: not only are Taiwanese flawlessly generous and trusting, (to foreigners, not each other), but Taiwanese criminals won't even STEAL from a foreigner.
