Occasionally articles like these remind me how I’ve completely let my guard down after being spoiled living for years in a place where theft and burglary are not a concern. Whenever I go back to a Western metropolis I have to learn to be alert again.

Theft and burglary is a concern everywhere.

I’ve been robbed and assaulted in Zürich, one of the safest cities on earth.

Never let your guard down, be vigilant.
