The UK's friendliest town is so safe that locals leave their keys inside their cars and keep the front door to their homes unlocked.
In a new study, Kirkwall in Orkney, Scotland, has been crowned the most welcoming place in the country.
One taxi driver who lives in the area claims he left his phone, wallet and car keys on the seat of his unlocked car.
And after four days he returned to find nothing was moved or stolen.

The same driver also dropped his wallet with £850 in cash inside on the floor at Kirkwall Airport, which a stranger handed in for him.
The locals say they welcome visitors and are more than happy to chat and help out.
"We like to think we're reasonably hospitable [in Kirkwall]," tour guide and resident Brian Alexander told the Daily Mail.
The destination was voted number one for most welcoming town by Booking.com, up from its second place position.
Visitors can indulge in the island's rich Viking history and take on one of the many nature or beach walks to see the town's natural beauty and local wildlife.
Kirkwall was only founded 1,000 years ago before coming under Scottish rule in the 15th century.
The town's cathedral, St Magnus, is Britain's most northerly one.
And its dungeons also used to hold women who were on trial for being witches.

British Heritage said: “On its annexation by Scotland, King James III gave the cathedral to the people of Orkney.
"Since the Scottish Reformation in 1560, the cathedral has been used for Protestant worship and is today a Church of Scotland congregation—still owned by the Kirkwall people and maintained by the Islands Council.
"Within the grand cathedral, the magnificent stained glass windows depicting saints and biblical personalities were created by artist Oscar Paterson in the 1920s.
“Next door, the remains of the 12th-century Bishop’s Palace and 16th-century Earl’s Palace reflect the long importance of Kirkwall as both a place of ecclesiastical and political power.”
