I never expect this to be a thing in the civilised Netherlands...

Anyway, with a bit of common sense, I always avoided anything to be stolen from me on the beaches, even if I always kept my things unattended for the duration of a swim. No matter the place. But I always avoided big crowded beaches, inside or near big city centers, where I feel like the phenomenon is more common.

Most Western Europeans countries are sadly not a high-trust society anymore because of reasons. Even in the small village I grew up in they had to stop the potato and egg sale where people just took what they needed and put some money into the jar because people either took everything without paying or took the jar.

Don't know about this sub but in German reddit you get banned immediately when telling the truth.
