Tokyo is crazy. I can leave my bike ($2000 Cyclocross bike) outside unlocked in central Tokyo and no-one will touch it. Back home that would be taken immediately, even if you put D-Locks on it.

People leave their phones on coffee shop tables as they make an order... those would be taken too.

I dropped my wallet, went to the police station and got a call the next morning. My wallet was handed in -- with all the cash still in it.
