    People stole the wheels off my wife’s car, in a lit parking lot, in one of the safest big cities in the US.

    Yeah, you can’t leave your nice tools out in the back of your truck bed in most places.

      I’ve driven a pickup truck for 20 years and never once had anything stolen out of it. “Safest big city” as a phrase strikes me similarly to “most comfortable chest wound.”

        The wheels were the only “property loss” crime we’ve experienced in ~10 years living here. All the other crimes were landlords illegally withholding our deposits.
