There’s not many places in the world where theft isn’t a concern. Just small villages where everybody knows each other, and repressive countries.

Singapore is the only place I’ve been where I didn’t worry about theft.

There's a big difference between "theft isn't a concern" and "theft is the main reason things are lost". A place where you're more likely to get your things stolen than you are to misplace them is definitely a place with above-average crime rates.

And while I don't know where you've been and what your tolerance level for "worrying about" theft is, I've never worried about theft anywhere but very touristy places in huge cities.

Theft is a concern where I live in Brooklyn but its an order of magnitude less likely that I lose something to theft vs me misplacing it

Perhaps zarzavat just isn't prone to losing things.

Personally, I'm careful enough with my keys etc (and lucky enough) that I don't lose them - I lived for several decades before the invention of the airtag, and developed habits not to lose things.

On the other hand, bicycles getting stolen? That happens.
