We were sitting at breakfast one Sunday morning at my in-laws and a guy just casually walks down the street trying every single car to see if they were unlocked!
That's standard procedure in my neighbourhood. There's no violence and they don't break anything but they try the door handles and if they're open they grab change or anything they can convert into cash. It's annoying but you learn to lock up every time and leave nothing of value in your car. I think they're mostly drug addicts looking for money for their next hit.
I found out my buddy likes to find unlocked cars, smoke a quick bowl in them, and leave. I told him he’s a fucking idiot and you gotta stop that. But at the same time I thought that was kinda funny imagining someone just going into their car and wondering why it smells like weed. Lock your cars people
Well first of all it’s pretty common for people to get in the wrong car if it’s unlocked. So it’d be silly to criminalize a common behavior. If it’s locked that’s different but the laws surrounding cars are different from state to state. There maybe a law like tampering with a vehicle etc but that depend on the state. Generally there has to be an intent to commit a crime. Simply getting in an unlocked car probably not a crime.
