Someone else's car, plates, credit card

Hats off to the rozzers for nicking this bucket of excrement with his stolen credit card and his s***ty little knife.

I went shopping at Kaleen plaza last weekend, and on my way out noticed that someone had lobbed a brick through the drivers window of a car parked near mine. The owners must’ve made the mistake of leaving something valuable locked in their car where someone who wanted it could see it. Mongrel bloody dogs who deserve a good flogging, in my opinion.

IAnyway, I’m assuming one of the Rapid vehicles did the magic “Those plates don’t belong on that vehicle, please arrest the scumbag thief driver” thingy. I’d be happy to see every cop car in town fitted with that gear, no matter what the cost.

Don’t be a victim, because you were just asking for it.

Yep, that’s what it boils down to.

Crime stats would be much lower if we, honest, law-abiding citizens, just sucked it up.

Anything I have in my car, house, or anywhere else is *mine*.
Anybody who takes any of my things is a dirty, filthy, scumbag criminal, regardless of the amount of effort they have had to put into to getting their hands on my stuff.

[Having said that, crims *do* get points for style.]

also, don’t leave your credit cards in your car. Just asking someone to break in and steal them.

And don’t leave them in your house, because you’re just asking for someone to break in and steal them.
And don’t leave them in your handbag, because you’re just asking for someone to grab it off you and steal them.
And don’t leave them in your wallet in your pocket because you’re just asking for someone to pick your pocket and steal them.
And don’t carry them in your hand because you’re just asking for someone to wrestle them off you and steal them.
And don’t bury them in a pit in a concrete bunker in your backyard, because you’re just asking for someone to dig them up and steal them.

Same goes for cars. Don’t leave them in car parks, because you’re just asking for someone to break in and steal them.
And don’t have numberplates on your cars, because you’re just asking for someone to break them off and steal them, to put on the car that some other idiot left in a car park (Remember that one? What an idiot.)

Actually, wait…. this is silly. Let’s simplify it some more. Don’t own property or money or financial instruments, because you’re just asking for someone to steal them.

No, wait… Still not simple enough. Gotta keep the message on target and simple.

Don’t be a victim, because you were just asking for it.

There. That’s better. Now we’ve all learned our lesson.

(And the next time I hear some neuron-challenged apologist trot out the term “Crime of Opportunity” I think I’ll be wanting to create an opportunity of my own.)

You talk about neuron-challenged after throwing an online tanty like that?

Choosing to drive a HRV is punishment enough.

also, don’t leave your credit cards in your car. Just asking someone to break in and steal them.

Douchebag. Scary to think there are people carrying knives ready to use them. Is there such a thing as lawful possession of stolen property btw?

Yep. It’s a $50 fine. Unless they had an unhappy childhood.
