When i first came in Denmark, i'd also read all the crap statistics about crime, thefts etc, and thought that is extremely safe. I drove all the way with my motorcycle from my home in Athens to Copenhagen, and 10 days after arriving i got the motorcycle stolen. It was parked close to Christiania and the crime happened probably during broad daylight bc i arrived in the spot before sunset. The police did also nothing. ...thankfully i found it a week later but with expensive damages that i all fixed by myself. I believe the Danish state and many people really hate motor vehicles in general and they make everything to make your life miserable if you own a vehicle here. I think also it is a country to make money, live simple life, until you leave again to a warmer country with more friendly people.
I'm not going down the ACAB rabbit hole, but I do more and more wonder what the police actually still does. Because catching crooks sure doesn't seem to be their main core business anymore... Having said that, it probably wasn't the best move to have your laptop bag in plain sight in your car. Regardless of whether you're in Denmark or in El Salvador, that's asking for trouble. Next time, just drop your laptop bag off at home, or at the very least leave it in the trunk/boot of your car so it's out of sight.
Looking back, it was obviously a mistake. I figured it won’t be to high risk for 10 minutes. I am actually most upset about the police not lifting a finger. I understand the chances of finding the crook is low, but at least they could have tried for half a day before giving up.
Yeah theft is kinda a huge problem in Denmark, but ppl here are extremely defensive and kinda brainwashed that they live in a utopia so they will just get mad when you point it out, nice country to make some money in and then leave for somewhere warmer (and for warmer people too)...
Thank you for your comment. I needed it. I like the people in general, but I think it is difficult for any person who haven’t lived abroad to look at their own country objectively. It was hard for me and it for sure is hard for Danes.
The irony is that most crime in Denmark is committed by foreigners, or people of foreign descent. The prisons contain few ethnic Danes. Without immigration, Denmark would be closer to Japan, and wealthier too, since many foreigners don't work in Denmark.
Hahaha ... that you thought it was an utopia or that any utopia exist is very funny. There is no country without crime and there is nothing the police can do about this in any country ... however frustrating that this may be. Denmark is still one of the safeste countries, but this does not mean that you can turn off common sence.
I did not expect it to be a utopia (Do I need a sign for irony?) but that is what the youtubesphere about Denmark is saying. And saying that the police can do nothing is difficult for me to understand. They could, you know, investigate. Their job is more than just writing speeding tickets.
Difficult to say. I haven’t lived in Copenhagen, so I don’t know. There are probably statistics about which region in Denmark is better, but I don’t have the details. I would guess that smaller towns are better, but I have no data to support that.
The data on theft reports is masked data on insurance prevaliance and local conditions for insurance payouts. Data doesn’t lie but you have to understand the dialect it is speaking…
This is an interesting angle. So what do you think the data says? If it is inflated due to insurance, why is that not like that in Germany or Spain or Norway?
If you get stolen properties worth less than 100,000 DKK (15,000 USD) the police do nothing. 95,000 male danes were convicted in 2023 and 30,000 male foreigners, so it could very well be a dane who did it. Greetings from Denmark.
There was only 4223 in jail in 2022, I don't think it has gone up with more than 120k since then. And out of the 4223 was 45% foreigners. Where did you get your magic numbers from?
Denmark is extremely safe. Your video makes no sense. It is one story because someone left his laptop inside his car at night at plain view. But yeah, Police is too slow to react.
@andersbrixserup7718 Your comment makes no sense; he literally showed the statistics. I would recommend you watch the video from start to finish before commenting.

Sorry to hear what happened to your bike.
I agree people and the state seem to view vehicles as an inherent evil, and a consumer good.
Have had multiple bicycles stolen, but that's the worst of the crime I've experienced.
Overall, I feel very safe at any time night or day
You can never leave something visible in your car and be sure the car has not been broken into when you return. Sad, but that is how it is.
Yepp, now I know. I had to learn the hard way. I guess it is an adjustment process.

OMG!!!! There are thieves in every country? Who knew? Welcome to reality.
The point is, there are much more thieves than in most other European countries.
@@beyondcloudbasewell well... which countries in Europe are safer?
It can be a really tough experience having your Laptop stolen in that manner. Thanks for sharing this. Please stay safe and be more security concious
Thank you

We all know this, but it doesn't fit well with his woke mentality. I left the crime ridden UK for a safer and more tranquil life in Hungary!
@@stephenb134I hope you dont mean the eastern part of the country?

Thanks for the video. Do You think it is safer in Aarhus than in Copenhagen?

who leaves a laptop in a back seat anywhere? ridiculous!
What kind of person steals a laptop from a car?
i do, i dont lock my car at home. north of Charlotte NC.
I could do that routinely in Hungary.

@@beyondcloudbaseof course it is. Do you feel safe in Berlin or Frankfurt at night? What about Duisburg, Bremen?

@@pipperen9688 You'r right. The numbers are from statistikbanken STRAFNA3 and is about "convicted".
I saw somewhere that only 2% of convicted thieves go to prison, but I can’t confirm it as I can’t find the data.
But it is not safe to commit murder here😊
True :)
OMG ! Car window broken. The place must be a death trap!
I see you get the point 👍

Safe considering violent crime, but very unsafe when it comes to burglary and theft. That is reality, supported by data.
