"durr, durr, its your fault that you had your car stolen with your baby in it while you were loading your groceries, it should not have been running to give your baby a/c and a place to rest because you don't have four hands" and "durr, durr, if you don't want someone to pickpocket you then you should have zippers with locks on them like smart people do, get a clue" or "durr, durr, if you don't want to get clipped by stray bullets in your own home then you should always wear a bullet proof vest. otherwise if you get shot its your fault".[/quote]

There's a difference between "it's your fault" and "I'm leaving DC because it's too crime-ridden; I can no longer leave my car unlocked on the street with the key in the ignition while running in to pick up my food order".[/quote]
it's great that you blame the parents when this keeps happening.

Who said anything about blaming?[/quote]
You have stated that it is silly for people to complain about people stealing their cars if they leave them unlocked with the keys in them. My point is that there are a lot of very valid reasons that this happens, particularly when you have kids and that the thieves repeatedly steal cars with kids in them. This is a valid reason to leave DC because this stuff does not routinely happen in MoCO or Fairfax.

There is a legitimate risk in DC that if you are loading your car with your baby inside, someone will try to carjack you. People should be able to feel safe while they are loading their cars with their babies inside. Your downplaying of this as a legitimate issue by trying to make it seem like its just dumb rich people getting their cars stolen because they don't know any better and are too trusting is a extremely anti-social and I hope that you never need to rely on the help of strangers.[/quote]
