"Lunano is a very safe town with low crime rates. Petty theft like pickpocketing is rare but can occur in crowded markets or tourist spots. Exercise normal precautions, especially at night in isolated areas. The main risks are related to rural roads (narrow, winding) and hiking trails (slippery after rain). Keep valuables secure and avoid leaving items unattended in parked cars."
