these victims that leave their vehicles unlocked are just making it easy for the theives to get in grab and run. I lock my car when I go into the service station even for a minute or less just so I do not become a victim. Lock your stuff up people and don't make it any easier for the bad guys to steal it. I want them to work very hard if they want to steal from me. If you have the attitude that if they want it they will get it then leave it out on the sidewalk for them and don't complain when it is gone. Our small towns are not the same as they used to be in the 60s, 70s and 80s. We have alot of bad people around here that are looking for easy money any way they can get it.
