Yes the crazy thing is I remember going to London back in 90, and at that time in the US, most major stores would request that you checked backpacks in before going into the store, to prevent theft. I walked in to Tower records in Piccadilly Circus and handed my bag, expecting they would give me a claim check, and they were freaking out. As they had been sending out the same message at that time due to the IRA bombings. So they gave me the full instruction about unattended bags and how they were more worried over terrorism than theft. Crazy how it is common here 20 years later.
