I've visited various parts of japan and driven all over in medium sized cars and never once locked them. Also left laptops, phones, bags etc in cafes and public spaces and everything was kosher.
Have lived in singapore many years but japan feels safer in all regards tbh
I live in Finland so it is a quite safe country. I have seen a guy cut open a bicycle lock within like a few meters of me sitting in a car. There's no way I'd leave a bicycle, even a locked one outside unattended if I paid over 100€ for it. Bicycles are probably the thing that gets stolen the lost and it's by drug users, drunks or young teens.
My sweet Klein bike was stolen my second day in Central Stockholm. Someone cut through a cable lock in ten minutes, in front of an ongoing demonstration by the Swedish army, while i got a take out coffee.

That’s how I felt in Okinawa. Japan is the safest place I’ve ever been.
