Cellar Door,
I sorry to hear about your experience, and that of others who have found that they can leave their car doors open and don't get anything stolen, just things rummaged through. Is it too much to expect car thieves to tidy up rather than creating a mess when they don't take anything?

You are right to try to draw a line, but as Captain Jean-Luc Picard said when he was assimilated by the Borg, Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
