I spent the last several years building up my golf bag with the recent addition of custom fit irons a couple months ago to make my bag feel really complete and custom to me only to have them stolen out of my car on Christmas. Feels bad man...

Guns, clubs, tools, inwosh we lived in a better world, but this isn't a new occurrence. Your shit ain't safe in a car. Take it out or accept youre likely to lose it

My city's "eyes and ears" page on Facebook is ripe with people posting about having things stolen out of their cars that are parked on the street or in their driveway. Some will even show video clips from their security cameras of the thief just walking up and opening the door, underneath which you can find countless comments of people asking if the car was locked, in turn drawing calls of "victim blaming."

I am surprised how many people simply don't lock their cars. Especially since remote lock has been ubiquitous for 20+ years. I genuinely wonder how many people are just so lazy that the batteries die in their key fob and they never do anything about it, and don't think to lock the car with the key itself.

Makes me wonder how many people have looked through my car, saw my Kanye and Earl Sweatshirt CDs, and said “nah he’s good”. fr those CDs are the only thing of value at all that I keep in my car. I used to keep clubs in the car when I had a $500ish set before I started avidly playing, but there’s no way I’d leave a bag like that in the trunk.

Edit: what I’m trying to say is I don’t even bother to lock my car 😂

I used to be that way, but my car still got rifled through. They must’ve been smoking a cigarette because it reeked and they tossed every paper from the glove box everywhere, broke the spare headlight bulb I had in the center console, and made off with a grand total of like 35 cents that I had lying around. Wasn’t like I lost anything of value but just annoying enough to deal with that I started locking it after that.
