My trip in Iceland, I think I quit locking things after about three days, it felt so safe there. In some of the more touristy areas, there I locked it. I remember being really surprised when I saw a policeman one time, there is so little crime there that I forgot that they exist, but he was eating lunch at a restaurant and was not doing police duties at the time. But I saw a police car on the highway several times since I spent much of my time on the highways.
The next tour after that was in Southern Florida, we did a good job of locking things there.
