I wanted to know which countries you can simply leave your laptop at a Starbucks, and where you can't.

The problem of course with leaving your MacBook at a random coffee shop in Palestine is that Israel might bomb it before you can get it back…

Semantics, but are there really random coffee shops in Antarctica? I assumed no, though a quick search suggests a place called Coffeehouse at McMurdo Station, some at South Pole Station, and then assorted local station cafeterias. Even so. I guess I'd still vote yes though, so...
Obviously Japan. My first year there I actually was stupid and left my phone/keys at the table when I went to the toilet and things like that. After a while I realised that while the chances of theft are very small, they are not zero.

Was this in Shibuya? Maybe there or Roppongi, but most other places aren't really a worry.

Kyoto. But I disagree that it's not a worry. It only takes one opportunistic person to ruin your day (or month)

The map on the website has a few mistakes. The wrong border on Ukraine, for example.

The page won't verify me as a human if I try to vote, I don't know why.

Might be more effective if this was by postal code instead of by entire country

Thanks, I will consider to add such granularities.

You should probably find a proper e-waste collector, but I guess if you can't find one, you could leave it at Starbucks and someone will take care of it?

I've seen people leave purses unattended in japan in a fast food restaurant while going to the bathroom.
