I used to take the Montreal metro to work just carrying my laptop. Someone I kmow from a big European city was very surprised and said nobody would do that there, it would make you a target for theft. Here I wouldn't think twice about it.

That isn't a problem at all for most Western/Northern European cities though, without naming it makes it quite hard to judge if it was sensible advice or anxiety.

In Sweden I wouldn't think twice either...
