Re:China Buys 80 Very High Speed Trains (236 mph) for $4 Bil... by bilbo0s on Tuesday September 29, 2009 @12:53PM (#850736)
If you can read Mandarin, one of the things you can see on the blogs in China is that these things are so cheap to manufacture that it costs more to steal them!

The Mag-Lev from Pudong Airport cost what ... 1.5 Billion. It only goes about 20 miles into Shanghai. They are getting 80 of these trains for 4 Billion.

Stealing a new fangled industrial adhesive might be profitable, and useful in your construction projects. But if you are going to build it the regular way . . .

it just doesn't pay to steal a nail.
