Japan’s most wanted

Japan's Most Wanted

Most foreigners I know living in Tokyo are extremely grateful for the low crime rate. I know I am.

The little things, like leaving your belongings on the table while you go order at the counter, leaving your handphone on the table while you eat etc., are very common occurrences. Anywhere else, I’m pretty sure things left out of sight will just simply disappear into the great unknown. Never to be seen again.

Although it really is safe and comfortable living here, I’m always vigilant – lest I start taking things for granted.

Saw this outside the Omotesando Koban (Police Box). Missing persons, arson, murder, extremists etc. I do feel pain reading some of these posters…

Thought I’ll help spread the word.

Why can’t we all just get along?

    I agree. See what was in the news here in California. It makes me sick.

    In France, the Japans can be traumatized when a pickpocket steals their wallet in the subway while they are travelling. I can understand their reaction if they come nfrom a country or a city where you can leave your belongings on the table. True, I would not do that in Lyon, and yet, I do not feel in danger. It is just that I am used to paying attention to my belongings. I would be traumatized if I was verbally or physically attaked.
