That kind of advise was par for course living in Amsterdam Zuidoost, as well as travelling around Berlin, Madrid, Santiago.... I'd say it applies to being anywhere with a significant crime rate or poverty burden

Hardly unique to the US

Advice I got in Amsterdam:

Buy a bike worth less than the lock.

Yup!

The nice thing is that when that bike inevitably breaks, the city's underworld provides an efficient and free bike disposal service
