Considering how relatively safe Denmark is, it may come as a surprise that the country actually has one of the highest rates per capita of home burglary in the world.
According to Australian-based insurance firm Budget Direct, Denmark ranks eighth in the world with 694 burglaries per 100,000 people.
That figure puts the Danes third in Europe, behind only Greece (762) and Sweden (736).
By comparison, Norway only had 33 per 100,000, while Scotland had just 8!
