    You can go to a Starbucks and leave your laptop and phone on a desk. Literally no one will take it. Mostly because of fear of execution.

        It is also not true.

        No one is executing you for theft. What nonsense.

      Exactly, lived there a while, you replace your fear of crime with a fear of authority. Don’t speak out, don’t protest, don’t ruffle feathers. It seems fine right until something effects you, then you have no recourse, except for leaving.

        I wasn’t making a point. It was a joke. It’s something people who go to Singapore say. I thought it was obvious but I always over-estimate the intelligence of an average human.
