My sister currently lives in Switzerland, and she doesn't lock her appartment,
occasionally leaves the keys in her car etc.  On one of her first Sundays there,
she saw that expensive pot flowers (price tags visible) had been left out in
the street in front of a flower shop.  She thought that somebody would be in
trouble on Monday.  After a while she realized that they are always left
outside.
