This couple that was in the same train as me, left their seats to change the diaper of their little baby.
Not only did they go away from their luggage, but they left two phones and a large tablet visible and unattended for quite some time!

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Yeah, my home country isn't exactly known for being safe from theft. But where I grew up, it was pretty normal for people to just leave stuff outside since everyone knew everyone. I rode motorbikes a lot and I rarely put it in the garage. I mostly just left it unlocked, unless it was overnight. Similar during college and stuff but only inside the campus. Outside was a metro area, and there will be thieves.
I think it's directly proportional to the number of disenfranchised and homeless people. There's a severe lack of support from the government, so I can't even blame them in good conscience.
