What is the rate for other big cities? Is this a lot higher than usual, or only a little higher? The thing is that people steal things everywhere. Bikes. Cigarette lighters. Money left out. Scam items off Amazon or eBay is a form of theft. Your beer at parties. Lawn gnomes.

I don’t think I’ve had any theft incidents in many years in Seattle.
It's just part and parcel of living in a big city.
