While visiting Italy/France, I’ve heard from many natives and announcements at the airport to not leave bags or important items unattended. These are third world countries, no civilized society would tolerate this behavior as something to just deal with. Europe seems to have lowered its standards, America too. That doesn’t take away from the historical and geographical beauty of these places, unreal to behold. But pretending that petty theft is a part of life to be accepted is ridiculous and a sign of a decaying society
