First sentence was really surprising to me (Aussie), until you mentioned later that you're a Saffa. My in-laws took years to adjust after emigrating.
To put things in perspective, it's common over here for people selling things on Facebook/Gumtree to just leave the item outside and have the buyer slide the cash under the doormat. It's less secure but way more convenient, since you don't need to be home to complete the transaction.
I've left tools and other semi-valuables in my unsecured carport, in clear sight from the street, on a main road, for years now and they've never gone missing.
My sister in law lost her iPhone in a public bathroom and got it back simply by calling it and working out a time and location to meet up with the person who found it.
These aren't just freak anecdotes, by the way, they're the norm.
You should really consider coming over here. We need more Saffas in Australia!
