Not sure this is in context for this thread but...
I work third shift as a guard for one of the big shipping companies. By the time my shift starts most of the trucks are in for the night so the first thing I do every night is to walk through the lot and check every door on every truck in the lot. I realize that if I check trucks long enough I'm going to find doors open but I find the same four trucks unlocked at least 3 times a week.
At the end of that round I always report which trucks are unlocked to the client supervisor and every night he bitches about "those damned drivers" and how they don't lock their trucks but nothing ever changes.
I worked at one place where one of the engineers left his office door open every night. I mentioned it to him one morning and he told me he didn't bother locking the door because he knew I'd be along at some point and I'd lock it.
Wonder what he'd do if something turned up missing from his office.
lock your car and take your keys
And in my area in Wisconsin, this trend continues. Every week at least three instances where somebody gets their car stolen because they left it unlocked with the keys in it.
Multiple instances of unlocked cars being entered and then the garage door opener is used to enter the house, where the thieves steal cash and car keys and whatever they can get quickly and then leave, often taking a vehicle with them.
Every damn week.
The news media has been really good about reporting all these incidents and admonishing people to lock up their cars and their homes, but it would seem that nobody is paying any attention.
Around here, cops WILL NOT get into a pursuit after a stolen car in most circumstances. It isn't worth the risk of an accident that injures the innocent, particularly when the stolen vehicle was stolen because it was unlocked and the keys were left in the ignition.
Fortunately and so far, in the instances where occupied homes were entered, the occupants weren't harmed and weren't even aware anybody had entered until later. This good luck will probably not continue on forever. The news media keeps referring to these incidents as "home invasions" and they aren't really, but whatever.
Many of the offenders are juveniles, with no concept of possible consequences.
