There's a big difference between a victim, and being a complete idiot.
Leaving a firearm in an unlocked vehicle overnight is being a complete idiot. Especially an unsecured & unlocked firearm.

Unsurprisingly, the career cops have covered the basics of this thread. The only thing I’ll add is this:
Having actually seen one of those car cruisers in the act, there is NO WAY that I’m going to lose out to a tweaker like that. I can handle the financial loss, but the sheer embarrassment of losing a decent pistol to a jort-wearing, "DWI bicycle" riding, sketchy dude like the guys that crawl our neighborhoods would make me hang my head in shame.
Doors locked; nothing in the car. They may steal my car, but I’m not getting taken for more than that. #itsapridething

Yep. Not long ago a bunch of (you guessed it, unlocked) vehicles got broken into in my area. Now it’s a fairly safe area, as in you probably won’t be murdered. But I told my wife I’m not going to just leave my stuff out to be swiped by Joe Tweaker. That’s just an insult.
If you kick in my door, beat my ass, and take my stuff you’ve earned it in a roundabout way. Stealing shit out of an unlocked vehicle is on me.

Mum's car was sitting in her driveway, inside a nice gated community when it was stolen. She left her transponder inside, and the door unlocked.

Not another dime.
For a while I got stuck compiling the UCR stats that went to the FBI in my agency. We had more stuff stolen monetarily from cars than home burglaries each month. It’s amazing what folks leave in their cars.
While I don't leave firearms in the car as a rule, on the rare occasion I need to I am thankful I have a Subaru Outback with no bumper sticks or distinguishing marks. Doesn't exactly scream "gun owner"
