High trust society doesn't mean there wasn't a lot of stealing or damage going on.
Of course theft has always happened, but not at this level:
> Target last week said it was bracing to lose half a billion dollars this year because of rising theft. Nordstrom, Whole Foods and some other big chains said they were abandoning San Francisco because of changing economic conditions or employee safety. Many other retailers have blamed crime for closing stores.

That depends. Accounting for inflation, per-capita numbers and all.. there were many times on record where, throughout the world and various societies, had to deal with similar levels of theft, violence, and damages. Think back to some of the worst eras in England, the Middle East and other places throughout history where they had to respond by clamping down on these things.

Inevitably, we'll see a similar clamping down. Forget history, you're doomed to repeat it.
