You think such insurance exists? Stealing cash from an unsecured box?

It's still amazing how naive/careless banks, shops and other businesses handle cash. A simple box, in a drawer and the like.

Gold shops with an open counter.

They still believe living in a safe country.

Compare to countries where guards with rifles/guns are at every major business .

That is a lot of Mama pot noodles.
