In Paris, I used to leave my bag on the street in front of my high school whole days. It was just leaning on the front door, for hours. That was before.
Now I guess someone would call a bomb disposal team and cut the traffic 3 blocks around it. (and I would have been very sad, because to this day I still love that bag, leather, light, durable, practical, it still fits a modern 13" laptop perfectly)
Anyhow, this thread is all anecdotes.

- joosters 10y agoMost places also have data from crime surveys, so it's possible to make decent predictions about how much crime is reported or not. The crime statistics themselves are very useful, there's no need to chuck them about because some level of crime goes unreported. Statisticians have long ago realised that we can measure this too.
