Do they claim you’re ruining the thief’s life by speaking up? That since you’ve been in and out of your car multiple times, you were asking for your car to be broken into?
Actually it does seem to. Police won’t even ‘investigate’ if your car wasn’t locked. Growing up I was always told it’s better to leave it unlocked so you don’t have to replace a door or window over some spare change. Turns out the breaking into a locked vehicle is the only part of the crime that law enforcement cares about. Now I always lock my vehicles because taking things from an unlocked car is apparently not a crime.
Anyway, not defending the analogy, just expanding on it.

Have you read the rules here?
I’m sure that’s totally similar to getting blamed for your own rape.

Not locking your car doesn’t mean, others were allowed to steal

We get the analogy. What we don’t get is why someone would downplay how victims get blamed in the case of rape.
By the way, have you read the rules of this community?
I have now. I apologize and I’ll see myself out!
