The Instagram caption revealed the motivation behind the attempt. Tincho wrote, “I tried something a little risky today. Back home in Paris, this would be unthinkable. I wouldn’t dare leave something so valuable alone for even a minute. But in China, security and public trust feel very different. People often leave their bags, phones, or even laptops on tables to save their spot, and theft in many cities is surprisingly rare. This experiment wasn’t just about testing luck—it was about experiencing how safety and social norms are different here.”
The post has sparked varied reactions from viewers. One user commented, “This shows how safe many places in China are, people respect each other’s belongings.” Another wrote, “In my country this would disappear in less than five minutes.”
Some drew comparisons to their own experiences, with one person adding, “I did the same in Beijing last year, left my phone on a café table and no one touched it.” Another user was sceptical, saying, “You got lucky this time, try doing it again and you might not find it.”
One reaction read, “It is amazing how trust in society changes behaviour.” Another person commented, “I wish we had this level of security and honesty back home.”
A different user added, “This is exactly why I feel more comfortable travelling in Asia than Europe.”
