A guy two houses down got his car stolen a day ago sometime between 8pm and 10pm and she is questioning our neighborhood now (note we live in a very nice and new planned community with lots of amenities). The story on the car is that our neighbor left his car in the garage with the door open and the keys in the ignition and there is construction going on constantly in our neighborhood since it's a new community.

I tried to explain to her that he made it way too easy for them to steal the car and that it was simply a crime of opportunity.

Decent looking car but it is misfiring on acceleration and pulls hard to the left when braking.
 
They had a Biden sign in their yard, so I knew they were only armed with a rape whistle.
 
It blows me afuckingway that people leave shit unlocked. I have a pretty OCD ritual every night about checking doors.

Yet people in the midwest get their shit stolen and scream "THATS NOT RIGHT!!" while leaving all their shit unlocked.

The guy is gay so I would be careful what I touched in there.

He does have a very cute French Bulldog named butterbean that he refers to as "loverboy" but I try not to read anything into that.

I have to admit that growing up the only time we locked the door is if we went on vacation. I didn't even have a key to the house until I was in high school because I didn't need one. We would come home and my friends in the neighborhood would be sitting in our den playing Atari and we would just say hi and sit down and wait our turn to play.

Times have changed.
 
see if they will come back and take your wife.....win/win

The metro here has something like 300k people (see: buckets full of riff raff), yet anyone older than the age of 35 treats this place like it's a one stop light town where there's no crime and everyone knows each others name, so they might as well not lock doors.

someone stole the taillight assembly
out of my ol ladys accord -
thought that was odd,
then found out why -
damn thing was $300 -

About 5 years ago there was a "gang" in Birmingham, Al that was stealing tailgates off pickup trucks. Evidently they go for a nice chunk on the used parts market. It was kinda weird because there was a bunch of them over about a month and then it went away. I guess it was one of those groups that hit an area and move on before the cops get wise to them.

I've seen that with home robberies also where you get like 3 houses in the same neighborhood hit bang bang then nothing.

My house has gone through two hurricanes (both Cat 1 though) and all I've had to do was replace some roof shingles. The last one I had to go out into the garage while it was going on to get something and I thought the wind was going to rip the door off. When we moved in I noticed the garage door had some pretty stout metal bracing and the mechanical lift was very different than I was used to and I couldn't figure out why....now I know and the bitch held.
