I would advance that there isn't much respect, period. Part of the American mentality of everyone for themselves I guess. It's frustrating. You can lose something expensive in Japan like a watch and be relatively assured that no one will touch it for hours/days unless it is to safe keep whereas if the same thing were to happen in the US, it's pretty much a goner. =(

Germany in most places the same, lost a laptop, got a few days later a phone call (had my phone number on the laptop login screen displayed) and they asked where to bring it.

  I left my wallet and phone on a subway in Manhattan. Both got returned to me (including about $50 cash I had in the wallet). My girlfriend's iPhone 6 fell out of her purse in a nightclub in San Francisco. It got returned to her the next day. In college, my bike got taken during the night and returned a few days later with a sickynote saying the person who took it was drunk and didn't want to drive home. While in Japan, my friends got scammed by thugs who demanded $1000 to leave the "club" they were tricked into entering.

    That only happens in Roppongi, one suburb in all of Japan. There are hundred of places that would happen in the US.

      Yeah and these people aren't even Japanese, most of these African touts in Roppongi are from Nigeria. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2014/12/03/voices/kick-touts-rule-roppongi/ http://www.japantimes.co.jp/community/2014/12/03/voices/kick...
