My neighbors who are obsessed with home invasion, and own guns to deter such a threat, also leave their huge Ford F150s unlocked with the key in the ignition. Like last year (?) a group of people took the cars and went on a joyride, dropping the cars back off in the morning (they know this because they have one of those ring cameras or something). They blame "gangbangers" from the poc majority city that's like at least half an hour away by highway for this.
I don't understand how someone so concerned about home invasion can leave their car not only unlocked, but with the keys just sitting there in the ignition
yeah I'm sure Black people living a half hour down the highway are coming to some horrible little suburban wasteland (and not the equally horrible suburban wastes located much closer to the city, nor just going to the wealthier areas of said city) to take your car for a joyride for a single night. It was absolutely just local high schoolers. I say that as someone who not only finds the "gangbanger" thesis absurd, but as someone who was also a local high schooler at one point and knows what these kids get up to.
