  1. I am amazed at the stupidity of the men/women who leave their purses/wallets in their car in plain sight. First, it is stupid to leave it there in the first place. Second, if you are that stupid, then at least try to find a secure place out of sight to hide your purse/wallet. Third, oh I forgot you are stupid… never mind. Telling you to keep your valuables out of sight and car doors locked at all times wouldn’t do any good. Then there are those who leave weapons in their vehicles. I firmly believe that the majority of the reports of stolen purses, wallets and weapons are for insurance purposes only. In this day and age, I find it hard to believe that people would be so careless with their belongings. DON’T LEAVE VALUABLES IN YOUR CAR WHETHER IT IS LOCKED OR UNLOCKED!
