Because sooner or later people need to realize that leaving your keys in the vehicle is a bad idea. Doesn't mean the theft is justified, but... Come on, don't make it too easy for the theifs

This was the wildest thing I've seen since moving to Vermont, I know sooo many people here who leave their front doors open, or their cars unlocked with the fucking keys in the center console. Like, I don't care how safe this state is on paper, no way I'm leaving my shit unlocked sorry.

I don’t know why you got downvoted, you’re right. I’ve lived here all my life and I still lock up my shit. It does not justify thieving at all, I’ve had my shit stolen by roommates letting untrustworthy friends of theirs hang out at my apartment before and no matter the circumstances, it’s never okay. But…yeah, I’m still gonna be on the cautious side and always lock up.

You think that’s bad? People do it in my area in New Jersey. Yeah, their cars disappear pretty quickly.
