@jens @catileptic I have had cash stolen from me.
In Germany.
I'm not sure when it was: might have been picked while I was outdoors, might have been stolen from my hotel room while I was out at the pool. But it was stolen. It's happened to me here too. Indeed small property crime is commonplace in most places I've ever lived in or visited; I've been fortunate enough to have it happen only a small handful of times in my life.
So this is a real problem, directly experienced.
