God help me...
I have to agree with Criss here.
Sure the scantily clad woman walking alone at night in a seedy area can be accused of lack of common sense. Likewise the odd foreigner hanging out with PPH thugs could be accused of having a bad taste in friends... but guess what? None of this is a crime. Raping and stealing ARE the crime.
No matter how many "what ifs" and "you could haves" you come up with the victim, the REAL victim will always think of more. I know all too well, I have yet to own a car that hasn't been vandalized (given enough time this new one will be vandalized too). Heck, even my dad's jeep which I drove for 3 months was vandalized. Funny enough all this happened while I was sleeping at home, my car in our closed parking, in our nice neighborhood.
Breaking in into one's property is not only about material things. There's much more to it. As someone whose appartment was broken into, and whose many cars have been either broken into or vandalized, trust me, it is NOT only about expenses and cost. It is about someone violating your private space. Short of pissing around the block to mark our territory humans are not far off dogs and wolves when it comes to protecting our territory.
As somebody in another board said, the ultimate revenge could be keeping in your car a expensive bottle of scotch laced with a lethal dose of arsenic. Not that I would do that... no siree no... not really... no.
