Inspector Huang Shengjia and police officer Ke Yanzhu from the Chunshe Office of the Fourth Branch of Taichung City were patrolling at the gas station opposite the police station on the evening of the 23rd. When they saw people waving, the police went to care and found that it was an 82-year-old woman surnamed Wang who wanted to go home by bicycle. Changhua, but because I lost my way and rode for 4 hours, I was still in Taichung, so I was exhausted and leaned against the wall to rest. However, the wife of Wang was vague, and only kept mentioning the name of the village chief who lived in Wang.

The police immediately searched the Internet to find the phone number of the village head Wang’s office. As soon as he heard the police’s description, he knew the identity of Mrs. Wang and let her return home safely. I rode a bicycle from Changhua to Taichung alone. I was visiting friends in Taichung the day before, but I accidentally lost my way to Nantou after cycling for 12 hours. Although I arrived at the home of relatives and friends in Taichung successfully, I didn’t return home for 4 hours because I got lost again. We have to report to Xie Xun.

And the family members feel guilty for the mother who often rides a bicycle to walk around, because everyone has to go to work during the day and cannot accompany her, and the mother is too lonely, so she likes to visit friends everywhere by bicycle. Because she is worried that her mother will be lost, she puts a phone number note on the bicycle, which may blown away by the wind.

The police suggest that family members who have similar circumstances can take their mother to the local investigation team to apply for fingerprinting files, so that they can verify their identity as soon as possible when they are lost. Li Jianxing, the director of the Fourth Branch, said that if there are elderly people in the family, they should always pay attention to their movements. Reduce the chance of going out alone. If you have dementia, you can not only apply for a love bracelet from the social bureau, but also go to the investigation team of the sub-bureau for fingerprinting and filing. In case of loss, you can quickly confirm your identity.

The police took the old woman back to the police station to rest.
