Reply to comment by DownTooParty in LPT: Don't break out small or corner windows if you lock your keys in your car. by Bailmage

Sounds like a cool way to have your vehicle stolen or moved into by a homeless person

Sounds like you live in SoCal. I feel like we’re the only ones who understand these 2 very common scenarios.

Not something I have to worry about, I leave my vehicles unlocked. I'm also at the end of a side street on the side of a mountain so its hard to know my house even exists, especially when the foliage grows back

Milwaukee actually. Do y'all think homeless people only exist on the west coast?

Generally speaking, you can be pretty sure anyone willing to steal your car is also willing to break a window to do so.

Breaking windows draws attention, just opening the door does not. So you’re more likely to get caught if you break a window, a risk some would-be thieves won’t take.

Can confirm, a car was stolen in our neighborhood, and several people had driveway camera footage of the guy going down the street and trying door handles.
