There are way too many people walking around checking for unlocked doors and ripping people off. One more thief right where he belongs! "

Well, maybe if people here wisened up a bit - and started doing common-sense things like locking doors - there would be less people lurking around...
Don't get me wrong: theft is theft, and I hope that every thief gets caught. But why make it so easy for them in the first place? It just attracts more thieves.
In sum: lock your doors. Don't leave valuables in plain sight. Thieves are opportunistic. The best way to prevent theft is to prevent the opportunity.
Glad the kid got caught. "
