I haven't noticed any rise in crime. There is still whitecollar crime but not so much else, at least not publicly said. I still can leave things at a table and come back and they will be there. But I am not going to push the envelope and see how much i can get away with. I can leave my bag and go and get coffee and come back to it. People leave their cars running and go into the minimart all the time. I don't lock the door to my house (I live in a quiet town though) I don't think I would do that in Tokyo though.
