As a native Shanghainese, to be honest, this situation is very common nowadays. However, the probability of valuables being taken away is relatively low. If it is some very cheap daily necessities, it may still be taken away. So it’s still very important to take care of your belongings, and don’t completely relax.
I just saw a Chinese video of a blogger last night. She left her luggage in the gas station before she took the ferry over to Hainan island. When she realized that, she rode her motorbike back taking the ferry back to mainland. The luggage was still sitting on the same spot where she left it. They would still take your iPhone, iPad, IMac in the US even if they are locked. I lost my iPad at Costco once and it was never returned to the store.

spain is the worst in europe, also they had many right-wing governments and the people were left with little morality and the United sinking states infect them with individualism and not care for others.
Europe is the first region that comes to mind when I think of snatch thefts. Syndicates operate there and these people are fast! Even if you report to the police, they won't bother.
My mother ad I were pick pocketed in Barcelona at the Sagrada Familia, my mom didn't loose anything because she noticed it on time and confronted the female thief who denied everything. Back at our hostel i realized 800.00 $ of traveler's checks were missing from my pocket. In previous travels i was also pick pocketed in Austria and scammed at gun point on a train by Hungarian border guards.

50 years ago, I worked at an insurance company in London and a client reported his bike stolen or lost, after coming out of a pub. A week later, before we'd paid out, he'd gone back to the pub for a drink and saw his bike was parked outside the door of the public bar, whereas on the previous occasion, he'd gone out a different door from the saloon bar. Not sure if it would be the same outcome these days.
Yeah, China is one of the safest country you can travel in. it far excceeded US, all of European countries I have visited and on par with the best of Asia like Japan and Singapore.
The gov supplies many public jobs and essential benefits to older and people who hard to find jobs, so few and few people think about unlawful ways to survive.
Honestly ,if this experiment was in UK US India Philippines ...the laptop +shades would be long stolen in 5 minutes ,your hidden camera will be gone in 10 min .and on your walk you'll might get mugged in 15 minutes(US)
In my country your computer would've been gone the second you turned your back. The theft would pull a gun on you if you tried to take it back. This sadly is how it is. 😢😢😢
Something discussed in @JetLag Warriors 's video about the cameras on the street in Shanghai might explain it: security camera is everywhere, in a good sense.
To be honest, it’s not the camera that prevent people from stealing. I bet almost all Chinese people don’t even notice the cameras except for foreigners who watch too many western news. We despise stealing and if we really need something, we can buy them ourselves.
If it was in the US, it would be gone in 1 minute, and on eBay as soon as it is wipeout or the hard drive is swapped out. Also, the reason the laptop wasn't stolen in China might be that gentleman who sits on the table to make sure nobody does something stup!d. Otherwise, someone would take it and give it to security or do something else with it.
don’t do this in villages, there is still a chance you lose it since less cameras are there and old countrymen may lack of morality as well as law awareness.
In China, kids are taught in school to return those lost to police or someone around like cashier that can wait owner back. No doubt when kids grow up, they will remain honest. China herself is a truly honest & trust society. It is quite rare to hear someone gets something stolen.
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
Regarding the man sitting at the table with your laptop. It is common in China for people to sit at a table with complete strangers, a custom not common in the US.
I saw this comment of an american in China: "I forgot the window of mycar open. It was raining heavily. The next day i found thick plastic covering the opening. Someone covered it". That is all you need to know about the mindset there.
This experiment you have done will be about the same in at least other East Asian countries like Japan, South Korea and the SE Asian country Singapore. These countries also happen to have a lot of CCTVs. But CCTVs is not the only preventive reason, I think the quality of the locals in that region as well. There are quite many CCTVs in London and New York too (esp on a per capita basis), but I bet you may not be so lucky. But why not test my statement by putting your laptop in a London or NY cafe in the open space? It's be interesting to know how it turns out. Still, even in those 4 countries above, low crime doesn't mean no crime. It's better to be safe than sorry.
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
I live in one of the safest cities in the world Luxembourg, but I lost two expensive electric scooters and got my electric bikes vandalised (also lost a rain coat and elastic ropes). In Holland I lost count of my stolen bikes - around 3-5 bikes in early 2000s.
Ｉam in Australia. Last Sunday, an eleven year old kid (he told me) tried to con me into making a phone call to his mum (as he claimed that he was lost). While I was making the phone call, he tried to snatch my mobile from me. Luckily I was holding my mobile tight and he failed.
Be careful mate. They will clone your phone with all your apps. Always hold your phone dial for them and let them talk, all the while have your phone in your hand.
Cctv is one thing, cctv + AI face recognition is the key. Once the police have identified a person that they needs to trace. No matter where they are, they will be found in less than 10 mins.
I lost my laptop at an airbnb in Cost Rica last year. It's gone when we went out for a breakfast and left it in the room. Called the front desk and no one being held responsible. Someone posted similar event at the same airbnb. It could be an organized crime in the same place.
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
As a Chinese person, I would like to point out: Firstly, the living standards of most Chinese people are decent enough that the general population sees no need to resort to illegal means to obtain goods. Secondly, due to the widespread deployment of cameras and the implementation of a cashless society, criminal activities have almost nowhere to hide. Law enforcement can easily retrieve surveillance footage to track criminal activities and use legal procedures to obtain payment records to identify suspects, making it difficult for criminals to evade legal sanctions. Lastly, the cost of committing a crime is extremely high. Once someone has a criminal record, it is not only difficult for them to find employment within state-owned or institutional organizations, but their children also lose the eligibility to take civil service exams, which is a severe blow for those who value stable government positions.
I believe now it's pretty safe. But I don't think it's always been like that. Back in the days when CCTVs were not everywhere, I am sure any valuables would be gone like many places in the world. It's just normal human behavior. But with cameras almost everywhere, and facial recognition is top-notch, people have been trained to behave. I wish cameras were installed everywhere in America too!
In USA your unattended Mac would have disappeared within 5 minutes. In all US Apple stores the computers and phones are tethered with a steel cable to the table and each device has a shop-lifting sensor attached. But the American thieves are very resourceful and aggressive - they have come in gangs armed with wire cutters and attacking Apple Stores in broad daylight.
I think it is work of surveillance cameras. My cousin had lost more than 20 bikes more than 10 years ago. After they install cameras everywhere, amount of crimes went down dramatically. I don’t think thieves are gone. They are just afraid of getting caught. If they remove all cameras, thieves will be back in no time.
Not surprised. in shenzhen i leave my cellphones on the table all the time even when i go to the bathroom. i had never anything stolen in china. in canada in my university some of my things got stolen. tells you something
As someone who’s lived in China for many years, I’ve got to tell the truth. In China, people usually don’t steal valuable items like computers, phones, laptops, and wallets because it’s considered a crime (theft becomes a criminal offense when the financial value is over 1000 yuan, which is about 130 US dollars). However, things like lighters, tissues, ballpoint pens, phone chargers, and USB cables often go missing in Chinese offices. One reason is that they’re not expensive enough to be considered a crime. Another reason is that everyone kind of assumes these are communal items
to be fair, nobody in their right mind would steal apple devices as they are all traceable through the same apple ID and cloud. we have always been able to retrieve lost iphones in singapore, but my nokia brick phone was stolen. i left it in the cinema toilet for 5 minutes, came back to retrieve it and it was gone. never got it back.
No offense but the laptop you are placing is not crowded, i saw only three people if I'm not mistaken there are only around ten people to be exact passing along the thoroughfare why is Shanghai not populated anymore? Well anyway thank you for your social😮😮😮 experiment.😮...
I am Chinese, and China is indeed very safe, but it is not without bad people. This is only related to probability, so it is not recommended to try any similar risky behavior.
We will never know why the 'Old Guy' was sitting at the table. Probably waiting for his wife who was shopping. I do the same in the UK with a coffee. I'm an old guy.
Well, in China, you surely can do that in well-developed regions, such as Shanghai, but tbh, better not to try that in relatively underdeveloped regions, especially in some remote places. There is an old saying in China, "富长良心，穷生奸计" (wealth begets morality, poverty breeds wickedness).
It wasn't like this 15 or 20 years ago. I certainly lost a bike that was locked to my dad's bike that year in China within a short few minutes. And that was very common at the time. Nowadays there are lots and lots of security cameras everywhere, my family told me.
about 20 years ago, I've locked my rusty bike on a busy street near train station in Shanghai. I come back from a trip, 2 days after, found out my seat has been stolen. The only part of my bike which is not rusty get stolen... 😂
So if you loose the laptop, you are going to tell the world that Shanghai is not safe? What do you want to proof? Have you tried this experiment in your own country?
I don't understand the man with a hat sit down, as a Chinese our culture means laptop is there, someone is there, so someone belongs to the table/hold the table and own it temporary, for politely "we not suppose" to sit on that table!!
I think you need to let the senior know what you were doing and ask him if he wants to be in your video. I know it was a public place, but since you used a hidden camera, you need to respect the senior and ask his permission before uploading this video. 因为你是在秘密拍摄，我认为你需要尊重被拍摄者，取得他的同意才能上传视频。谢谢！
Your intention was half done. I wonder why you didn't show the part that the gentleman for sure have asked and make sure they belong to you. Am I correct? Also, as soon as the older gentleman sat down, right away, a younger man sat right next to your table. Because the young man knew the Mac didn't belong to the older gentleman. Actually, these 2 very honest good citizens and gentlemen were keeping eyes on your Mac, and they knew for sure the owner would come back. For those who haven't been to China, overall, the society in China is very secure. Is at par if not better than Japan, Singapore, and / or better than the many Western society

@@MrAlexCage yeah, left more questions than answers This type of test or Social Experiment, whatever you call it, isn't a good idea in general because you are testing an assumption by creating a crime opportunity. So, only test those people you suspect to be criminals, especially don't test your loved ones; never test your girlfriend or wife, not even your father or mother, because you may very well find out the truth is that they don't love you. You assume the test objects are potential thieves. Otherwise, you trust them. WTF are you test for? Even better, you are a judge, jury, and executioner because you are playing god. Besides, what does one test say? How many of these tests do you need to conduct to draw a meaningful conclusion? FYI, the American police used to set up speed traps to catch people speeding. Later, the US passed a law forbidding the police to create a crime opportunity to catch criminals.

In those high storey building residential block. On the first ground floor usually they have a place with rack for parcel delivery to people who stay in the block. The parcel can be delivered in the morning but still there in the night waiting for the owner to pick up.
The integrity of the Chinese people has reached a new height. This society is based on integrity and security. I deeply admire the Chinese people. If you are a Chinese, you should be proud.❤
totally agree.| ✌
Looks like China is setting new heights, whilst U$ setting new lows.
Kudos to kind spirited Chinese who seemed to be helping to safeguard the Laptopfor it's owner. 👍👍👍
I was In KFC , Barcelona last month. When I look out to see the street from the window, my labtop computer was stolen. Obviously, someone was watching me and waited for the opportunity to steal the computer.
spain is the worst in europe, also they had many right-wing governments and the people were left with little morality and the United sinking states infect them with individualism and not care for others.
😂 Barcelona.
Every tourist have their experience.
We wanted to see for ourselves.
Saw some people running with a bunch of handbags.😂
Europe is the first region that comes to mind when I think of snatch thefts. Syndicates operate there and these people are fast! Even if you report to the police, they won't bother.
Barcelona is the pickpocket capital of the world, pickpocketers are flies around poop in Europe 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My mother ad I were pick pocketed in Barcelona at the Sagrada Familia, my mom didn't loose anything because she noticed it on time and confronted the female thief who denied everything. Back at our hostel i realized 800.00 $ of traveler's checks were missing from my pocket. In previous travels i was also pick pocketed in Austria and scammed at gun point on a train by Hungarian border guards.
I am sure that the old man sit at the table in purpose. He had noticed the unattended laptop, hence he sit at the table to take care of it.
my thought same. ha........................
He is going to sit there for another 5 hours. And when the store closes, he will then take it. He was hoping someone left it and forgot where they left it.
@@jkuang right.... sit there for 5 hours, let all the cameras see your face to make sure they can identify you, and then steal the laptop. Brilliant.
@@jkuangyou are forgetting that in China AI facial recognition is so advanced and personal ID and privacy is the property of the state and not the individual,that guy's identity is already known from the mall security cameras which matches his face with his ID stored in the government's central computers!😂 that's why apparently you can board a train in China for eg with only your passport even though you have paid for your seat but you don't need tickets or any other ID to show that you have purchased your seat,just your passport details is enough which also means that your mugshot is now in the CCP's central computers so you better not nick any unattended Macbooks because they know exactly who you are!😅
Don't tempt others it's human nature to take advantage to survive.

You call him "old man"? He is probably in his 40s or 50s.
Yeah, quite disrespectful 😂
my bad! not good at telling age 😬
In Shenzhen luohu district,in the 1st class shopping mall "wan xiang cheng", I had seen debeers put in their showcase prominently a beautiful yellow diamond necklace which they price tag it at over RMB 7,000,000.
That was during the COVID rampage. There was no guards around the necklace nor in the shopping mall.
That's the first time I have ever seen in my life a real diamond necklace, not something in the photo,at a value as high as a property!
Amazing.
看来你错过一次改变命运的机会😂
There is an Italian lady living in China who did the same type of experiment with her phone in Hangzhou.
Same result. Hundreds of people were walking around, and no-one took the phone.

@@bobsmith3983 Oh yes 👍. Thanks for reminding. I forgot their names.
I didn’t even dare to leave my laptop in my university in UK, which is a normal thing in China. I can let my laptop sleep alone overnight in the classroom when I was in China.😂

Here in Canada, your laptop is not safe inside a car. I had my window smashed and my laptop taken while I was gone for no more than 10 minutes.
All that for a laptop?
In Malaysia, hardly anyone carries a laptop except for those working on a desk.
50 years ago, I worked at an insurance company in London and a client reported his bike stolen or lost, after coming out of a pub. A week later, before we'd paid out, he'd gone back to the pub for a drink and saw his bike was parked outside the door of the public bar, whereas on the previous occasion, he'd gone out a different door from the saloon bar. Not sure if it would be the same outcome these days.
I'm surprised no one stole your hidden camera !
😂😂😂😂
That's why called "hidden".
😂
@@MrWy1923 Hidden doesn't mean it's invisible.
@@bobsmith3983 Hi, Clever. Can you name me a thing which is invisible in the real world?
Yeah, China is one of the safest country you can travel in. it far excceeded US, all of European countries I have visited and on par with the best of Asia like Japan and Singapore.
The gov supplies many public jobs and essential benefits to older and people who hard to find jobs, so few and few people think about unlawful ways to survive.
Don't do this in Malaysia; people might snatch your laptop and run away. I lost my iPhone when someone approached my table and ran off with it.
Honestly ,if this experiment was in UK US India Philippines ...the laptop +shades would be long stolen in 5 minutes ,your hidden camera will be gone in 10 min .and on your walk you'll might get mugged in 15 minutes(US)
In my country Mozambique, that laptop would be gone while you are typing on it.
In my country your computer would've been gone the second you turned your back. The theft would pull a gun on you if you tried to take it back. This sadly is how it is. 😢😢😢
😂
I live in a more wealthier part of California and I have had things stolen from me before. One time my car was broken into at my house.
take care of yourself 🙂
Something discussed in @JetLag Warriors 's video about the cameras on the street in Shanghai might explain it: security camera is everywhere, in a good sense.
To be honest, it’s not the camera that prevent people from stealing. I bet almost all Chinese people don’t even notice the cameras except for foreigners who watch too many western news. We despise stealing and if we really need something, we can buy them ourselves.
Even more security cameras in London, and yet the crime rate there is over the moon.
If it was in the US, it would be gone in 1 minute, and on eBay as soon as it is wipeout or the hard drive is swapped out.
Also, the reason the laptop wasn't stolen in China might be that gentleman who sits on the table to make sure nobody does something stup!d. Otherwise, someone would take it and give it to security or do something else with it.
Well, you don’t even have to leave your belongings unattended. usually they’ll just snatch valuables from people.
that is if you're lucky, else you might even be sh0t or stabbed.
More like that old man was concerned that the laptop may be stolen by someone and be your guard ....hahahahahha.
This blow my mind. It won't last 5 minutes here in California.
really? my superpower country india is very safe country too. no one will rob your notebook or wallet if leave it in the public
That long?
don’t do this in villages, there is still a chance you lose it since less cameras are there and old countrymen may lack of morality as well as law awareness.
now i am curious to try it there 😃
In China, kids are taught in school to return those lost to police or someone around like cashier that can wait owner back. No doubt when kids grow up, they will remain honest. China herself is a truly honest & trust society. It is quite rare to hear someone gets something stolen.
This old man just trying to help, by sitting there to ensure that nobody steal it.
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
Regarding the man sitting at the table with your laptop. It is common in China for people to sit at a table with complete strangers, a custom not common in the US.
I saw this comment of an american in China:
"I forgot the window of mycar open. It was raining heavily. The next day i found thick plastic covering the opening. Someone covered it".
That is all you need to know about the mindset there.
This experiment you have done will be about the same in at least other East Asian countries like Japan, South Korea and the SE Asian country Singapore. These countries also happen to have a lot of CCTVs. But CCTVs is not the only preventive reason, I think the quality of the locals in that region as well. There are quite many CCTVs in London and New York too (esp on a per capita basis), but I bet you may not be so lucky. But why not test my statement by putting your laptop in a London or NY cafe in the open space? It's be interesting to know how it turns out. Still, even in those 4 countries above, low crime doesn't mean no crime. It's better to be safe than sorry.
太好笑了，日本人喜欢小偷小摸谁不知道？
Definitely wouldn’t get stolen in most parts of London. Endless professionals everywhere and the last thing on their mind is stealing something.

I live in one of the safest cities in the world Luxembourg, but I lost two expensive electric scooters and got my electric bikes vandalised (also lost a rain coat and elastic ropes). In Holland I lost count of my stolen bikes - around 3-5 bikes in early 2000s.
Stay safe wherever you are ☺️
If this experiment was in the US, we just have to count the seconds before it’s gone 🤣🤣🤣
There's no freedom without safety
safety comes first for sure.
Ｉam in Australia. Last Sunday, an eleven year old kid (he told me) tried to con me into making a phone call to his mum (as he claimed that he was lost). While I was making the phone call, he tried to snatch my mobile from me. Luckily I was holding my mobile tight and he failed.
Be careful mate.
They will clone your phone with all your apps.
Always hold your phone dial for them and let them talk, all the while have your phone in your hand.
That's alarming that even the kids are trying to do this kind of stuff, take care of yourself and be safe.✌
Cctv is one thing, cctv + AI face recognition is the key. Once the police have identified a person that they needs to trace. No matter where they are, they will be found in less than 10 mins.
I think that person is helping to look after your laptop. Yup, till the owner comes back.
👍
I lost my laptop at an airbnb in Cost Rica last year. It's gone when we went out for a breakfast and left it in the room. Called the front desk and no one being held responsible. Someone posted similar event at the same airbnb. It could be an organized crime in the same place.
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
take care next time, read reviews before booking airbnb.
The old man is watching your stuff so you don't lose them.
As a Chinese person, I would like to point out:
Firstly, the living standards of most Chinese people are decent enough that the general population sees no need to resort to illegal means to obtain goods. Secondly, due to the widespread deployment of cameras and the implementation of a cashless society, criminal activities have almost nowhere to hide. Law enforcement can easily retrieve surveillance footage to track criminal activities and use legal procedures to obtain payment records to identify suspects, making it difficult for criminals to evade legal sanctions. Lastly, the cost of committing a crime is extremely high. Once someone has a criminal record, it is not only difficult for them to find employment within state-owned or institutional organizations, but their children also lose the eligibility to take civil service exams, which is a severe blow for those who value stable government positions.
OMG, this brother is so bolder 😱 But rest assured 😊 You're less likely to lose it in front of the mall.
Now try this in Oakland California or NYC🤣😂😂🤣
i will lose it probably.
I believe now it's pretty safe. But I don't think it's always been like that. Back in the days when CCTVs were not everywhere, I am sure any valuables would be gone like many places in the world. It's just normal human behavior. But with cameras almost everywhere, and facial recognition is top-notch, people have been trained to behave. I wish cameras were installed everywhere in America too!
I believe in US there are many cameras in super markets, do they help?
No, London has the most CCTVs, then what?
If it was here in Canada it would last less than 5 minutes. 😂
that i know very well 😬 sadly
In USA your unattended Mac would have disappeared within 5 minutes. In all US Apple stores the computers and phones are tethered with a steel cable to the table and each device has a shop-lifting sensor attached. But the American thieves are very resourceful and aggressive - they have come in gangs armed with wire cutters and attacking Apple Stores in broad daylight.
I forgot my cell phone twice at local restaurants. Just come back and take it back from the store owner.
cool.
Thanks to the surveilance cams, nobody dares to steal things in public areas.
I think it is work of surveillance cameras. My cousin had lost more than 20 bikes more than 10 years ago. After they install cameras everywhere, amount of crimes went down dramatically. I don’t think thieves are gone. They are just afraid of getting caught. If they remove all cameras, thieves will be back in no time.
所以，还是不如当面抢方便是吧
Not surprised. in shenzhen i leave my cellphones on the table all the time even when i go to the bathroom. i had never anything stolen in china. in canada in my university some of my things got stolen. tells you something
take care of yourself.
thanks you too. enjoy your time in china, i know i do!@@MrAlexCage
you can make this experiment in united states, canada, france, italy, brazil, ..every countries, then publish a paper of turn-over rate comparison.
in that case i need new Macbook for every country coz i know i will lose it every time 😃
He sat there to protect your laptop.
i guess so.
It's all about race and culture. Country only falls into chaos when we deny and no longer respect that.
As someone who’s lived in China for many years, I’ve got to tell the truth. In China, people usually don’t steal valuable items like computers, phones, laptops, and wallets because it’s considered a crime (theft becomes a criminal offense when the financial value is over 1000 yuan, which is about 130 US dollars). However, things like lighters, tissues, ballpoint pens, phone chargers, and USB cables often go missing in Chinese offices. One reason is that they’re not expensive enough to be considered a crime. Another reason is that everyone kind of assumes these are communal items
This video will be about 10 seconds long if you’d done the same in London or New York
😃
Warning. Never try this stunt in USA.
huh, i know that very well 😬
In NYC, don't even try like this, long gone.
我家三线城市，包裹丢在楼下，小商店的货物堆在门口丢失的很少，很少，
好的
也不是没有小偷。大过年的我店门口用了4年的一个地毯被人偷了…那个地毯也要几百块钱呢😢
You can try the same in US to see what will happen.
i will lose it for sure.
come to the US and you will find all stores are being robbed in the bright day light. anything will be grabbed. 😂
ah, who knows that better than me 😁
to be fair, nobody in their right mind would steal apple devices as they are all traceable through the same apple ID and cloud. we have always been able to retrieve lost iphones in singapore, but my nokia brick phone was stolen. i left it in the cinema toilet for 5 minutes, came back to retrieve it and it was gone. never got it back.
In US i witnessed Apple store being robbed in a bright day light 😬
实话实说，我是中国人，在中国，破解你的苹果手机和苹果电脑的价格是50--100人民币左右。而且是30分钟的事情。不要以为美国的黑客有多牛逼，来到中国的电脑修理店才知道你们的FBI有多么的愚蠢。
No offense but the laptop you are placing is not crowded, i saw only three people if I'm not mistaken there are only around ten people to be exact passing along the thoroughfare why is Shanghai not populated anymore? Well anyway thank you for your social😮😮😮 experiment.😮...
In NZ it will be gone in 10 minutes..
In Malaysia no one wants nor carry a laptop
Heavy cumbersome.
Everyone prefers a smart phone.
NZ is also not safe now???
@@MrAlexCage yes... Not very safe compare to 20 years ago. Too many gangs
take very good care yourself Mate@@keanaw2
Don’t leave toilet paper, it’ll be taken away. Toiletries are probably more valuable than the MacBook
I am Chinese, and China is indeed very safe, but it is not without bad people. This is only related to probability, so it is not recommended to try any similar risky behavior.
I am crying cause I own a mansion near a council house, ful black and white people in London.
stay safe.
Don't try this in the US. You will lose laptop in several minutes
Ya Mate! sad reality.
We will never know why the 'Old Guy' was sitting at the table. Probably waiting for his wife who was shopping. I do the same in the UK with a coffee. I'm an old guy.
That old man probably waited for his lover!
lol and she ditched him by not coming 😃
不要存侥幸心理，认为有地方不会丢东西。

Thank you 😊
Well, in China, you surely can do that in well-developed regions, such as Shanghai, but tbh, better not to try that in relatively underdeveloped regions, especially in some remote places.
There is an old saying in China, "富长良心，穷生奸计" (wealth begets morality, poverty breeds wickedness).
em you might be right coz i haven't been to any countryside in china.
Try that in San Francisco
i will lose it 😁
It wasn't like this 15 or 20 years ago. I certainly lost a bike that was locked to my dad's bike that year in China within a short few minutes. And that was very common at the time. Nowadays there are lots and lots of security cameras everywhere, my family told me.
about 20 years ago, I've locked my rusty bike on a busy street near train station in Shanghai. I come back from a trip, 2 days after, found out my seat has been stolen. The only part of my bike which is not rusty get stolen... 😂
So if you loose the laptop, you are going to tell the world that Shanghai is not safe? What do you want to proof? Have you tried this experiment in your own country?
we grab them from the Apple Store instead
No way you can try this anywhere in the US. 😅
ya i agree.
Wow ……life is sweet when you don’t have to worry about crime.
That's rightfully right.!!
Bro, please come try that experiment in America 😂
naah Mate! i know the result.
don't test this in Europe.
i would't dare 😃
IN usa its gone in 3 mins!!
ya 😬
多数情况下 ，有人看到会把它交给店员
I think next time we can test gold, diamonds, pearls and the like.
I don't understand the man with a hat sit down, as a Chinese our culture means laptop is there, someone is there, so someone belongs to the table/hold the table and own it temporary, for politely "we not suppose" to sit on that table!!
he sat but his intentions were not to steal, i mean he didn't even touch it or bothered about it.
I think you need to let the senior know what you were doing and ask him if he wants to be in your video. I know it was a public place, but since you used a hidden camera, you need to respect the senior and ask his permission before uploading this video. 因为你是在秘密拍摄，我认为你需要尊重被拍摄者，取得他的同意才能上传视频。谢谢！
Some places people are so poor all they've is money 😅
Come try that in Brooklyn lol
it be gone in blink of eye i know 😁
Your intention was half done. I wonder why you didn't show the part that the gentleman for sure have asked and make sure they belong to you. Am I correct? Also, as soon as the older gentleman sat down, right away, a younger man sat right next to your table. Because the young man knew the Mac didn't belong to the older gentleman. Actually, these 2 very honest good citizens and gentlemen were keeping eyes on your Mac, and they knew for sure the owner would come back. For those who haven't been to China, overall, the society in China is very secure. Is at par if not better than Japan, Singapore, and / or better than the many Western society
I am sure you are right. That said, every country has criminals, and China is no exception. So, one not-so-bright boy did one test in a rather expensive area doesn't mean shit.
we didn't talk anything, i packed my stuff and left, if we have talked i would not i show it when i am already trying to show the positive image of china to west.
@@MrAlexCage yeah, left more questions than answers
This type of test or Social Experiment, whatever you call it, isn't a good idea in general because you are testing an assumption by creating a crime opportunity. So, only test those people you suspect to be criminals, especially don't test your loved ones; never test your girlfriend or wife, not even your father or mother, because you may very well find out the truth is that they don't love you. You assume the test objects are potential thieves. Otherwise, you trust them. WTF are you test for? Even better, you are a judge, jury, and executioner because you are playing god. Besides, what does one test say? How many of these tests do you need to conduct to draw a meaningful conclusion? FYI, the American police used to set up speed traps to catch people speeding. Later, the US passed a law forbidding the police to create a crime opportunity to catch criminals.
一切的优良品质，都得建立在不错的生活条件之上，所以，中国并非大家说的那么穷。但是，不建议大家玩这种考验人性的游戏，如果你考验失败了，笔记本就没了，如果你考验成功了，那是对考验者的不信任与不尊重
can you do a social experiment in America? I'd love to see him
