My point was, that people just believe in extremes (either look Japan is getting worse there is looting, or wow people in Japan don't loot or burglarize) which is silly, there is generally just less looting in Japan, and I do not see any metric that there is a rise or drop in looting in Japan. Just doing a simple google search, you can find looting from other earthquakes in Japan (surprised you didn't look). I.e, 3/11 and the 1995 Kobe quake, there were also incidents of looting, but on par with other countries when dealing with burglaries and crime after a natural disaster, it is often more pervasive in Japan. I have not been able to find any evidence that there will be more or less crime. Its just around par.

If you compare the amount of looting and vandalism in Kumamoto, (according to the article) at 36 since the earthquake. (so around 2 a day) Also Kumamoto has a population of 734,000. Now lets look at New Orleans. It has a population 378,000. It had a burglary rate of around 40 a day after the hurricane. Id rather look at that. Also I would like to see how many are vandalism (which would probably be kids to young adults) and burglaries.
