Tokyo’s sizeable security?

Despite what the Japanese media and the nation’s ever-increasing number of security companies would have us believe, Japan is still an incredibly safe place to live, with bicycle theft probably the biggest burden many will be bothered by.

A situation that luckily allows people to be more than a little blasé about their belongings, leading to bags and the like seen confidently uncared for in coffee shops, and even cars containing keys left casually in car parks. In fact, even the aforementioned companies calling on us to be more careful are often equally indifferent in regards to deterrents as, despite being concerned about incarceration and far from fleet of foot, if caught doing something dodgy I’d be decidedly confident of outdoing this defender in a dash.
