honesty in Israel

Israel have over the years I have come here changed a lot from the spirit of Kibbutzim to a system of today where people are on their own. People are more fighting for a proper job and salaries, nice place to live, nice car and other luxurious things to buy than before.

I just rented a bicycle out and a few days ago a felt that something was wrong, she came home without the bicycle and told me that she was sick and left the bicycle at a music school here in Jaffa. Two days later on a Thursday she told me in the morning that she had bad new that the bicycle had been stolen even though it was protected by guards. She told me she was very sorry. Today she just paid NIS 300 which would cover for the bicycle.
My point with this is that I would never leave a rented bicycle behind especially in Tel Aviv or Jaffa for the night and to come up with statements like there were guards is just a false protection due to they would not stay there the whole night.
