Comedic actor Seth Rogen sparked a Twitter frenzy after he shrugged off Los Angeles criminals breaking into cars, suggesting it's simply part of normal life in a big city. 

The viral uproar began when the "Knocked Up" star reacted to a tweet from YouTube personality Casey Neistat, who wrote on Wednesday, "so our cars got robbed this morning because Los Angeles is a crime riddled 3rd world s---hole of a city" and expressed gratitude toward the LA Police Department for arresting the criminal and retrieving all the stolen belongings. 

"Dude I’ve lived here for over 20 years. You’re nuts haha," Rogen reacted. "It’s lovely here. Don’t leave anything valuable in it. It’s called living in a big city."

"i can still be mad tho right?" Neistat asked, adding, "feel so violated."

"You can be mad but I guess I don’t personally view my car as an extension of myself and I’ve never really felt violated any of the 15 or so times my car was broken in to," Rogen responded.

"Once a guy accidentally left a cool knife in my car so if it keeps happening you might get a little treat."

Neistat told Rogen he "didn't get any treats" and that the thief had taken decorations for his daughter's seventh birthday party but then asked, "how did you get your car broken into 15 times?"

"I lived in West Hollywood for 20 years and parked on the street," Rogen wrote.

"Also it sucks your s--- was stolen but LA is not some shithole city. As far as big cities go it has a lot going for it."

Critics piled on the wealthy actor for being so dismissive of car burglaries in Tinseltown, many accusing him of being "privileged."

You should take it personally, Seth. Those weren't thieves. They were people who had to sit through your movies.

LOL! This marble-mouthed Canadian doofus is a one-note performer. Would never watch anything with him in it.

There was a little something to be said in favor of a time when a city had a numbers racket/illegal lottery a/k/a policy. When Vinny stuck his head in your window for his weekly 25 cents you could at least ask him to have his boss send a couple guys by to check out the weirdo hanging around the playground. It would be done and if they didn’t like the guy would get him on a bus out of town. If he resisted then things would get ugly.

Upstate NY Cities are like some Twilight Zone alternative history, as though a psychedelic leftist neutron bomb went off and created a worm-hole to another dimension.

I was in Utica recently. Its main street buildings look exactly like they did in approx. 1955. Nothing new there. The only difference is the cars aren't from 1955, and there are Muslim women in niqabs walking the streets.

I am sure his car is owned by a company, his or another and he can get another in a moments notice.
Most people cannot come up with a down payment and pay for the new car and also the old car as insurance will not cover the thousands you would be out of due to owing on the old car loan and the deductible.
