@Gina @sybrand When I worked in the Hague in the early 80s I shared an office with a Dutchman whose father had his bicycle expropriated like that. Apparently, whenever he met a German he demanded his bicycle back and went off on a long rant about what I good bicycle it was, etc. Once he'd got that off his chest he was perfectly polite and friendly.
