The little remote island of Gigha (think strangely devoid Scotland) has suffered literally zero crime these past 20 years – with the only major crime recorded being a stolen bicycle.

I’m not quite sure how the residents actually feel about this – especially considering the lack of police force to fix the problem – but hey, it’s really something to tell the grandkids about.
