Open Stores

One thing you'll notice while walking through town here is the number of stores that have open sides/walls or merchandise lining the front.  It wouldn't be difficult for someone to simply grab something while walking past.  Of course, this is a country where you can leave your shoes in the entryway of a restaurant and be confident that they'll still be there when you're done eating.  Theft of this sort doesn't appear to be a huge problem here.
