I recall reading that back when Hong Kong was not under Chinese authority, it's criminal laws were almost nonexistent. It had crime rates almost as low as nearby Singapore, which had draconian laws (remember the caning of an American grafitti artist, no chewing gum, etc...)
Hong Kong also allowed free market trade, and as a result, they were very rich and happy and did not steal much stuff. (well except for Hollywood movies)
A very Libertarian state. Don't honestly know what it's like there now, though.
