[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3385029, member: 9374"] ALL of these statements are assigning some amount of 'blame' on the victim of a crime... If I leave my weadeater on my front porch, am I to blame if someone comes and takes it? Did me leaving it out offer them too much temptation, and if so, how [B]much [/B]blame am I supposed to 'accept' for them stealing my property? How about if I left it on my BACK porch? I mean, that can't be seen from the road, so... if they came into my back yard, they were obviously up to no good, before they ever even saw my weedeater laying out, right? Right. So, do I have to accept [B]more [/B]blame if I leave it on my back porch than on my front porch? What if I put the weedeater up in my shed? Still my fault for not locking it up? What if there is a small padlock on my shed? Better? Am I 'absolved' of responsibility for providing them such easy pickings? What if I have a privacy fence? Better? How about locks on the privacy fence gates AND on the shed? I'm just curious, how many layers of protection to I need to enact to make certain I am not sharing responsibility and 'negligence' for the crime? [/QUOTE]
