Are you guys kidding, I have lived here for 10 years and have never had one thing ever stolen, ever. I've left things at stations and came back and got them I have left bags on the platform and gone off to buy other things and come back and nothing is missing. This guy that has had all this stuff happen to him must have had some awful luck. Of course Japan has its share of thugs and idiots but nothing close to the United States and other parts of the world. This is without a doubt the safest country in the world.
