Hey, remember that time when the Philippine president got medieval on smuggled luxury cars. Now it’s the Chinese government’s turn to do some motoring damage.

14,227 confiscated motorcycles were crushed by bulldozers in Shenzen City in Guangdong province as part of the bike ban. And that’s not the only time when they wrecked thousands of cycles. They’ve been wrecking them as part of a no-motorcycle drive since bikes, apparently, have always been associated to gangs and petty theft. Ever since 2003, 580,000 motorcycles have been crushed.

Somehow reminds me of that scene in Full Metal Jacket though that one was in Vietnam but yeah, robbers on bikes nonetheless. According to statistics, thievery from bikes went down 58.32% because of the ban.
