Petty criminals are not overly smart, nor are they brave. They don't want a confrontation with you. Like all of us, they have a choice, they can work and earn it, or they can take yours for free. They prefer to take yours for free. You should ensure that you don't make it easy for them to take your property. Don't leave valuables in the car that can be seen by someone walking by. Lock them in the trunk or remove them from the car. Just as important, lock your car or truck. Just locking the door would prevent many of these petty crimes.
