Victim shaming (e.g. don't dress like a slut and you won't get raped)
Most are probably from cars with "Assault Life", "I don't call 911", and "protected by Smith and Wesson" bumper stickers.

I can say, based on my experience dealing with this, that just about every one of those cars were unlocked.

Beat me to it.

I run out of lines on the state case report to list property on. And 90 percent of them aren't locked. B&E guys simply walk neighborhoods at night and try doors until they score one.
At our house, we lock all doors and about the only thing we leave in the cars are owner's manuals and umbrellas.
Car cruisers don’t even bother looking. They just run from car to car looking for open doors. That’s not to say the stickers wont get you targeted but I’m betting the majority were stolen from unlocked cars.
Just a dog chauffeur that used to hold the dumb end of the leash.
I've got a relative with Charlotte Meck PD, and he says they've done studies which show the vast majority of stolen firearms are from cars with such bumper stickers and which are also left unlocked.

Not to excuse an unsecured firearm in a car, but this is a partial consequence of a plethora of gun free zones dotted throughout ones daily business.
I’d bet a small percent are stolen for that reason during the day, but I’d wager an even larger amount is because Bubba left his “truck gun” in the glove box overnight.
