Well, that's true. You could leave a bundle of cash on you car seat with the windows down if there were no criminals. But in the real world, leaving something of value in clear view is asking for trouble.

When I was a resident, one of the med students came in crying one day. Someone had broken into her car and stolen her medical instruments worth a few hundred dollars. We went out with her to see the car and it turned out she had a Jeep with a snap-on plastic/canvas cover. No locks. Nothing to stop someone from unsnapping the cover and removing anything from the vehicle. It certainly isn't right that someone stole her stuff, but I find it hard to not place some blame with her for leaving that stuff unprotected and in full view to anyone who looked.
