One in a while there’s a rash of thefts from cars, and then people are careful to lock up for a while.
Cars here are locked up tighter than a Chicago bank.
They don’t steal from the car, they steal the whole car.
It should be a habit, no matter where you are, because you may not always live there, and “too late” is not the time to learn a lesson.
My truck may be worthless, but it is priceless to me, even if it doesn’t run right all the time. And you never know if someone is going to like it better than you do until they take it.
