The safest city on Earth?

Some of you may remember me bragging that Tokyo is the safest city on Earth. Here an example of what I mean. I'm topping this blog in my mobile phone. It's the same phone I bought 2 weeks ago. It's also the phone I left on a train, yesterday evening. It's the same phone that a business man, in his early 20s, picked up and ran of the train to give me, getting caught in the for of the train as he did so. Imagine how likely it would be that this happened on a Sun bus. Of course, it might ... But it's far more likely that I would never see my phone again.

There was an 'experiment' fine by some school students where they left 10 wallets on 10 trains with 1000 yen in each one. They put a return address of a fountain in Inokoshira park ... 8 out of 10 were retuned within a day.
