I don't know what the percentage of law-abiding folk are and those who have decent morals.
I'm guessing it's the vast majority.

Don't go extrapolating it to the 'inevitable' end of civilisation.
Folk have always done bad things.

Has she got GPS enabled? If not she might just struggle. I used to own a watch that had a compass facility but it forever needed recalibrating, so that got dumped.
