Living near Boston I can tell you we often leave stuff outside, like a Weber grill, strollers, kid bikes and scooters, etc. If it's something expensive like my $1500 bike we do lock it even in the basement. It's been years and nothing was stolen. I know bikes are stolen in the neighborhood, but that mostly cases where people left their bikes unlocked in their yard for a while. What I'm trying to say is that there are major US cities that are relatively safe. Fortunately not every city in the US has been following the CA politics.
