WTF?

[cyrano]

I'm sitting here in the den playing video games, and somebody comes quietly up to the front door, depresses the latch and pushes on the door. Then they're gone. There's no attempt to use a key, no repeat attempt in case the door got stuck. This seems to be just somebody going around hoping somebody's left their door unlocked and aren't too close to the front door.

I drove Chaz around all weekend to do her xmas shopping and stayed in the car in most places (no places to park anyway, so I dropped her at the front of the stores & she'd text me to come get her). I saw a LOT of people trying random car doors in the parking lots -- testing them to see if people had locked their car or not. Is the economy really that bad or are people really that criminal?

I don't think it's the economy, but I vascillate on what I think it is. Right now, I think people are just as criminally minded as they used to be, they're just more likely to act on those urges. Perhaps they're more self-centered and think that if they want it then whatever they do is okay in order to get it. Or perhaps they're more short sighted and aren't really considering consequences of their actions. Or they're just more stupid. I don't know.
