Photo contents are stupid and a waste of time and energy. You don't need (fake) validation like that to enjoy your hobby. Such things appeal largely to praise whores.
I know it is very costly compared to all other camera gear...I am also affraid to take it on trips to some large cities like NY.
There are thieves everywhere on earth. I don't think I would be able to sleep at night with something this valuable around the house or around my neck. But that's just me. I hope you enjoy your new gear and Happy New Year!
