Vehicle theft is rare to non-existent. People here do lock up their bikes and scooters, but mainly to keep drunk salarymen from taking the wrong one by mistake (most bikes and scooters here look very similar).

A co-worker of mine left his wallet in the front basket of his bicycle outside his busy building overnight, it was still there the next morning. If you walk off and leave your car running in front of the 7 11 it'll likely sit there until it runs out of gas, no one will steal it.
