Malaysia for sure. A Malaysian police was arrested for trying to steal the CD player from a Mercedes Benz parked near a hotel. How did he get caught? He was found sound asleep inside the car.

On Monday, the cop broke into the car for the stereo on a hotel parking lot in southern Malaysian state of Malacca. While removing the CD player from the dashboard, he could not resist the comfort of the soft leather interior and dozed off. Other cops found him inside and arrested him for theft and illegal break-in. If a cop stealing from a car is not odd enough, there is more. He is also a member of gangs that is known to police for robbery from car break-ins to motorcycle theft. And that is nothing new in Malaysia; the line between crooks and cops is bit blurry over there. Police get inadequate salary, and often compensate by doing a side job as a criminal, not to mention corruption. After his arrest, the cop gave up a few of his fellow gang members who also work for the police department.

So when in Malaysia, be careful before you ask the cops to look after your valuables.
