We have rashed of car break in around here from time to time as well. Well, if you count leaving your car unlocked and something of value in the open. To me that is like asking someone to steal your shit.
There's an appropos quote from Full Metal Jacket, when the gunnery sergeant discovers Pvt. Pyle's unlocked foot locker and says "If it wasn't for dickheads like you, there wouldn't be any thievery in the world, would there?"
The idea that locks keep out honest thieves isnt wrong. A guy that steals is to lazy to work for it. If you make him do alittle work he will like just move on. Most people around here think they live in Mayberry.

OK, I feel badly these kids got their shit swiped, but now naive can you be? You don't leave anything of value in your car. Ever. But it takes a special brand of rube to leave stuff behind in a friggin' school bus parked in the most prominent tourist area in the middle of a big city. They might as well have just left the bus unlocked and saved the thieves the trouble of breaking the windows and the bus company the hassle of filing an insurance claim.
And the story indicates there were two adult chaperones/coaches who should have told the kids to take their stuff with them, so it's not all on the kids.

$15,000.00 in tablets, ipods, etc all secured by a school bus, and consequently ripped off by some folks who decided crime does pay.
I was worried after achieving the crime capital of the world title that St. Louis might try to coast, it's good to know that we're still on the job making it scary as hell to live here.
