Behind the outer security door of a Mongkok, Hong Kong apartment. Hong Kong and China have a low crime rate for major, violent offenses. Less serious crimes: B&Es, theft, and pick-pocketing, are such a concern that most windows are covered by bars, and most doors have an outer, vault-like shield.
Even in the small village of 200 people, my in-laws lock up everything if they are leaving, no matter the distance.

It’s pretty much the same over here. Low crime and safe to walk the streets at night.

I like this view. Gives us the feeling of spying on someone.
