> the reason crime is near zero in the Netherland
This is so laughably wrong that it's hard to know what to say.
I just put Dutch Crime Rate into Google and got this.

Bikes cost about the same in the Netherlands as in the UK. Scandinavia
is the expensive place.
I just Googled on Google.nl and got a price for the Desmosedici of
65,000 euros. No idea where you got your price.
And there's nothing under EU law to stop the Dutch trundling a few miles
in any direction, across their borders, and buying a bike in Germany or
Belgium

A friend in Finland says he could save a bundle by buying in Germany.

Still doesn't stop Krusty trying to be the expert, though. It's also
amazing to see how easily people swallow stuff they read in the papers.
I mean, in today's Mail on Sunday, a rather right-wing top-selling
Sunday newspaper, a columnist was ranting about immigration, saying that
Britain is now the world's second-most densely populated country.
It's just nonsense. But people will believe it if it's written
somewhere. Like Drain Man believes what he reads on the kook sites.
Actually, I just looked it up. We're in 52nd place.
