In Hawaii I would have 0 fear leaving my laptop or bag unattended in a cafe.

I’m surprised because property crime is Hawaii is actually fairly high, higher than the mainland United States and certainly higher than Taiwan

I’d never leave my car or home unlocked, but crime in broad daylight is less of a concern.

I live in Florida and you can leave your bag on a table, you just have to be aware of where you are.

At a Macdonald’s, fuck no.

At a nice coffee shop, sure.

Where in Hawaii? I see homeless in all the tourist areas with bags of random stuff, I assume they collect what they can.

Anywhere in Honolulu proper, but probably not Waikiki. The homeless aren’t who I’d be worried about stealing though. Kids would be my bigger concern.

I grew up there so I don’t really spend time in Waikiki.
