All these "lock your car" posts on neighborhood aps

Am I the only person who actually uses their garage for its intended purpose? I keep seeing these posts of people playing the pity card because their car was rummaged through.

In every video in my neighborhood – 2 car garage and both cars in the driveway. I keep seeing neighbors say "just lock it", but i think the city of houston needs to learn a lesson in prevention vs mitigation.

Locking your car is a mitigation measure – it only decreases the possibility of something being stolen or broken into. What happens when they get desperate or see something they really want? They bust the window – did it do my dads truck parked on the street in Memorial.

What y'all need to do is prevent the opportunity from even happening. Clean out your dirty garage and park your car inside. Without a vehicle in plain sight they run off. They decide they wanna break into the home, now the police will get interested.

Its almost as if people want to be victims…

And to the – "my new BMW got robbed in my apartment complex" – y'all got a whole other problem you're dealing with.
