Croatia tourism: US traveler surprised by low theft in Dubrovnik
American tourist Suzanna Lissette gained social media attention after sharing an experience in Dubrovnik, Croatia, where her bicycle remained unattended for several hours without being stolen.
Lissette described the incident in an Instagram video, noting that the bicycle and its full basket were untouched when she returned. She ironically remarked that the experience “ruined” her life by contrasting the safety in Croatia with the higher rates of theft she experiences in the United States.
Historical data from 2016 indicates a significant difference in theft rates between the two nations. According to UNODC figures, Croatia recorded 302 registered thefts per 100,000 inhabitants, while the United States recorded 1,750 per 100,000. However, experts note that such comparisons can be affected by varying laws and reporting methods.
